Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Discovered the right rear spring hanger had rusted off the frame of the truck. Further inspection has found the frame is so badly rusted that repair of the spring hanger is not possible due to the overall condition of the frame. Simply put, the frame has rotted and pieces fall of as you drive. There is no more frame left to re-attach the rear spring to. Severe premature rust. The rest of the vehicle metal is in good condition.”
NHTSA complaint #10488687, filed 2012-12, 144,000 miles“Consumer states that the clutch catches too quickly when gears are shifted and there is a loud clunk that can be felt and heard throughout the truck, consumer states it is metal hitting metal. Vehicle pulls to the right. Motor is missing and has no power. Drivers door flies open after going over bumps. Dealer refused to do anything about any of the problems and is stating that everything is normal. A service technician stated that it sounded like the clutch was not catching until the last minute, the jarring was the transmission after shifting and decelerating out of adjustment.”
