Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving, needed to slow down for traffic light and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was able to still drive it, as the brakes would stop the truck eventually. Cause was the rusted rear brake line that ruptured. Cost to fix was $400.00 in addition, on 12.27.13, I had the front wheel bearing replaced at a cost of $525.00. The truck only has 66,600 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10560689, filed 2014-01, 66,674 miles“The center hub of the wheels constantly falls off. The plastic screws that hold the hub on the wheel are not securing the hub properly. The consumer has lost six of these hubs since owning the vehicle. The vehicle would buck when put into 4low and shifting into park or neutral from reverse or drive. The vehicle made a thumping noise when making left turns and the consumer could feel it in the steering wheel.”
NHTSA complaint #10083320, filed 2004-09, 1,000 miles“The first cap fell off the truck with only 405 miles, the others fell off soon after. All caps were replaced and soon fell off as well. One cap flew in front of an on coming vehicle almost causing a collision. The consumer stated the chrome on the rims were the problem. The consumer tried to get the dealer to replace the rims, but to no avail.”
