THIS TRUCK HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT INCLUDING THE ONES THAT I HAVE LISTED. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE JUNE 9TH, AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 55 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILED TWICE/ INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED, AND SPEED CONTROL FAILED.THE DEALER AND MANUFACTOR IS LAYING BLAME ON ME FOR THESE PROBLEMS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK, THE FIRST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WENT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST HIT. THE SECOND TIME WHICH WAS A MONTH AFTER THEY HAD IT IN THE SHOP I WAS GOING TO IMPORTANT TRAINING FOR THE U.S. COAST GUARD, AND IT FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 20 DAYS AND THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER 35 DAYS NOW AND I STILL DON'T HAVE IT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, THAT THEY AREN'T EVEN TELLING ME ABOUT. THE DEALER ISN'T HELPING ME WITH THIS AT ALL. I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE ONLY HAD IT SINCE JUNE AND THEY WILL NOT HELP THERE BLAMING ME FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS.*AK

I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AN HOUR MAX. THE TRUCK MADE A HORRIBLE WINDING NOISE THAN A CRASHING NOISE. IT WAS SO LOUD PEOPLE CAME OUT OF THEIR HOUSES THINKING IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. RIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK JUST ABRUPTLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND THE 4 WHEEL HIGH LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE 4 WHEEL LOW LIGHT AND THEN NO LIGHTS. IT WAS TOWED. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME CONFLICTING STORIES ON THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. BEFORE THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME IF IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ME AND MY BABY. THEN ONCE THEY FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE THAT CRACKED WHEN THE TRUCK SUPPOSIDLY SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL LOW ON IT S OWN, THEY THEN DECIDED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE IF THEY FIX THE TRANSFER CASE AND THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WELL, IT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I DO NOT KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE.
