1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

This truck has several exhaust header bolts that are breaking off. This is a major defect and should be a recall to replace the exhaust header bolts they should not be breaking off and they are causing emission errors and needing major repairs.

2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2006

Fuel gauge reads empty when full and bounces around after a little fuel is used. I purchased this truck new and this started at about 50,000 mis. And is now a constant thing. I was told this is a $1000 fix and is prevalent on these models and should be subject to a recall but that will not happen.

3 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/23/2003

The fuel gauge jumps from full to empty it sets off the warning lights.
