| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC | AS OF 10/22/00 UNTIL 01/14/01 I HAVE HAD 18 PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. WONT START AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT WILL RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. TRANSMISSION STAYS IN 3RD GEAR OR SLIPS IN & OUT OF GEAR. BRAKES MAKE GROWLING NOISE & SHUTTER. TRUCK WILL DIE WITH NO WARNING. HAS SPARK KNOCK WITH 87 OR 89 OCTANE FUEL. MANY PROBLEMS.*AK |
| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED ON SUCH A YOUNG TRUCK. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRMAN STATED THAT HE HAS REPAIRED AT LEAST 2 OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONLY 40,0000 MILES. THEY WERE JUST FAR ENOUGH TO BE OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTERS BLEW UP THROWING SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTING A COMPLETE REBUILD. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED ROUTINELY SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, GETTING THE TRANSMISSSION SERVICE DONE EVERY 15000 MILES TO PREVENT IT FROM TEARING UP. FAT CHANCE. *AK |
