What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
When reaching over to unlock passenger door some part of my body or coat contacted the parking brake lever, disengaging it and causing the vehicle to roll downhill and into a backhole, causing considerable damage to the vehicle.
The truck began to misfire, and white smoke negative to flow as I lost power on the interstate. The truck gave no warranty just shut off. This same issue has happened to me four times last two years, each time injectors has been replaced but issue remains.
Problem-the heater will not stay on-if you have on high and turn it down you do not know if the heat and/or the blower will come back on and this happens off and on.
