Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was accelerating onto interstate highway i94 when my truck suddenly bounced up jumping and coming back down on the entrance ramp. As I looked in my rear view mirror I saw my spare tire bouncing off into a nearby field. The spare was held under the truck bed by a steel cable which later I found broke. The tire had jammed under the truck bed rupturing the steel gasoline filler tube. I explored the rupture closed and have not yet replaced the spare tire retaining assembly under the truck.”

Contacted dealership, terry jones (service manager) told me he was going to contact them and tell them it needed a new gas tank.
