Consumer Description

BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AS MY RETIREMENT VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY 42,000 MILES. I HAD MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO UNDER A DEALER WARRANTY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK MY TRANSMISSION HAS RANDOMLY SLIPPED FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS DOUBLE CLUNKED FROM A DEAD STOP. MOST RECENTLY, THE AC IS RANDOMLY BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A GOLF CART INSTEAD. SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOW 7+ YEARS OLD IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'M HOPING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LEAVE ME STRANDED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. NOTE: I WAS A VICTIM OF THE US FIDELIS EXTENDED WARRANTY SCAM. *TR
