Consumer Description

BLIND SPOT MONITOR (BSM) - FROM THE FIRST DAY I DROVE THE TRUCK OFF THE LOT, THE BSM ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THE ERROR LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK WHILE DRIVING. DURING MY FIRST SERVICE, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE A BAD SENSOR. ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK BY THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BRING MY TRUCK IN FOR THE SENSOR REPLACEMENT.
