REPORTING INTERMITTENTLEY PROBLEM WITH A POPPING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SUPENSION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

RIGHT REAR BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE COMPLETELY, CAUSE BRAKEING AND WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, DEALER NOTIFIED AND UNABLE TO DETERMINED THE PROBLEM. TS

COMPUTER CHIP CONSTANTLY FAILS WHICH CAUSES A CHAIN REACTION OF FAILURES TO OCCUR. THE TRUCK IS UNRELIABLE WITH VARIOUS BRAKE FAILURES AND CONSTANT TOWING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP IS PATCHING THE TRUCK WITH MINOR REPAIRS INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY DOING A THOROUGH INSPECTION. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. TS

DRIVER FEELS THAT THE DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER CAUSES FOOT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH LEVER WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS RESULTED IN THE HOOD RELEASING UNEXPECTEDLY. TS *NLM

IN COLD WEATHER THE RUBBER BOOT ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER GETS SO STIFF THAT IT WILL FORCE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF GEAR IF IT IS ON A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE SHIFT PATTERN FROM WHERE IT WAS FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF COLD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS PARKED IN 1ST GEAR OVERNITE IN THE COLD, IT WILL POP OUT OF 2ND OR 4TH GEAR WHILE UNDER POWER UNLESS I DRIVE WITH MY HAND ON THE SHIFT APPLYING PRESSURE TO KEEP IT IN GEAR. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AT TIMES AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST OTHER CONTROLS. DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE ABS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CONTACTED DEALER. *MR

MULTIPLE PARTS REPLACED WITH NO SUCCESS - SENDING UNIT, LEVEL SENSOR, GAUGE, ETC. MR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ABS BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD AND SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THROTTLE STUCK IN WIDE OPEN POSITION ON RAMP ENTERING HIGHWAY, BRAKES WERE NOT EFFECTIVE IN STOPPING VEHICLE, SPEED INCREASING , TURNED IGNITION KEY OFF AND COASTED TO STOP, CHECKED ACCELLERATOR PEDAL, WAS STUCK IN WIDE OPEN POSITION, COULD NOT FREE IT, CHECKED FOR INTERFERENCE FROM CARPETING AND THERE WAS NONE, WAITED A WHILE AND THE PEDAL REALEASD ON ITS OWN, DROVE IT HOME UNDER PARTIAL THROTTLE, CALLED THE DEALER, WHO SENT A ROLL BACK TRUCK TOPICK IT UP, WHILE WAITING ON THE WRECKER I DEPRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT STUCK TO THE FLOOR, I THEN TOOK A CAMERA AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE PEDAL IN STUCK POSITION TO SHOW THE DEALER IN CASE HE DIDNT BELIEVE ME. THE PICTURE CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NO INTERFERENCE FROM THE CARPET OR MAT, AS THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN THE PEDAL RELEASED AGAIN, WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS HEAT RELATED AND WAS LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE THROTTLE BODY ASS.,DEALER WORKED ON VEHICLE AND STATED ON THE WORK ORDER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CARPET PROTECTER INTERFERENCE, TOOK TRUCK HOME AND CHECKED OUT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, THERE WAS CLEAR SIGNS THAT WORK HAD BEEN ATEMPTED IN THAT AREA. RETURN SPRING HAD SIGNS OF TOOL CONTACT, BUTTERFLY IN THROTTLE BODY BORE SHOWED SIGNS OF TOOL MARKS, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS FREE, WHICH IT WAS, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT IS A REACURING PROBLEM SOMEONE WITH LESS LUCK COULD POSSIBLY BE KILLED AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ON THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK
