At approximately 44,000 miles the radiator developed a leak. Warranty on this item I was told expired at 36,000 and it will not be covered.

2 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2016

At less than 50k miles, the radiator developed a leak. Coolant will leak anywhere the truck is parked, causing an environmental concern.

This will cost me over $1700 to repair, on a truck that is only 3 years old.
