“Vibration at highway speed. Complained to two different dealerships and was ignored. I am a mechanic with 35+ years experience. I am absolutely certain that the problem is in the driveline and not in the wheels/tires. The vibration causes the truck to eat the tires. I am under 65,000 miles and on the fifth set of tires. Four different brands of tires. I've seen numerous complaints on this issue. I discussed a TSB with the dealership and was ignored again. After having my transmission repaired at the dealership under warranty, the vibration has gotten worse. …”
NHTSA complaint #11389134, filed 2021-01, 3,500 miles“While working on my truck, I left 1 box sitting beside the passenger rear tire. I smelled something burning and just thought someone had a fireplace burning. My son came out and asked me why the box was smoking. The sun reflecting from the chome wheel caused the box to catch on fire. This occurred on 8 april 2018 in pasadena, md at approx. 5 p.m. Wile this is not a vehicle specific issue, it should be advised to others to be aware of the fire potential caused by the sun reflecting from the chrome on a vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11083925, filed 2018-04, 49,800 miles“On 9/21/18 my husband was driving to the store down the interstate and his truck shut off causing him to coast to the shoulder. When he did he noticed some light smoke. He tried to pop the hood but it wouldn't pop so he got out and tried to see if it was caught and saw more smoke he looked underneath to see stuff dripping like melting from the engine compartment, at that time he went to walk around the truck to look for a fire extinguisher when he heard a loud explosion causing him to run back from the truck and call 911. …”
