“Roof leak that has been on going since taking delivery of truck brand new in june of 2007. When truck is subjected to heavy rain, and sometimes just a truck wash, water comes in roof at some point and shorts out the electronic modules located in side pillar next to drivers seat. Have also had episodes where the dash instruments will surge power on and off with no key in ignition, or if truck is running it cannot be shut off with key when this happens. Have put truck in dealer shop on four separate occasions to have this problem fixed under warranty. …”
