WHEN 4X4 SERVICE IS REQUIRED THE TRUCKS DRIVE SYSTEM WILL RATTLE VERY LOUD FORCING THE TRUCK TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK MUST BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY 1000 MILES UNTIL SERVICE IS PERFORMED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4000 MILES BEFORE MY 60,000 MILE SERVICE ON THE INTERSTATE PULLING A FIFTH WHEEL AND THEN AGAIN 3000 MILES BEFORE REQUIRED SERVICE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT 76,000 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE SINGLE LANE NO SHOULDER IN THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I GET A REMINDER MESSAGE FOR REQUIRED SERVICE, BUT THE 4X4 SERVICE REMINDER IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN BLINKING AND CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE TURN WAS MADE AND THE SWITCH RETURNED BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. AS I PULLED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RETURNED TO NORMAL SO I CONTINUED ON MY WAY HOME (5 MILES). ONCE I REACHED HOME (STOPPED IN DRIVEWAY) AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY, ALL LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN BLINKING AND THE VEHICLE WARNING FOR KEY IN THE IGNITION WAS LIT WITH THE KEY REMOVED. I RE-INSERTED THE KEY AND WENT TO RUN THEN OFF WITH NO RESULT, THEN STARTED AND STOPPED THE TRUCK WITH NO RESULT. I EXITED THE TRUCK AND CONFIRMED THAT ALL EXTERNAL LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, BRAKES, TURN SIGNALS) WERE IN FACT FLASHING. I LOCKED THE TRUCK WITH THE FOB REMOTE AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. 2 MONTHS PRIOR I HAD A WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM THAT CLEARED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THE SATELLITE RADIO PERIODICALLY FREEZES.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CALLING DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY OPEN AND GETTING IT TOWED IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE ASAP. TOO MANY PROBLEMS AND RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK!!!!
