Consumer Description

OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A YEAR BOUGHT WITH 6000 MILES. VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTS INTO A LOW GEAR WHILE APPROACHING A STOP. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE ON SNOW COVERED ROADS AND EVERYDAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY FIXED IT? EXHAUST HAS BROKEN FROM THE WELDS I NOTICED THIS AT 20,000 MILES. THIS HAS CAUSED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO LEAK UNDERNEATH THE CAB. A STRONG COOLANT SMELL REGULARLY IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PROBLEMS, IF SO WHY DOES IT CONTINUE? CRACKING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH ALSO HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT FIXED.
