Consumer Description
SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE OIL DUE TO ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET BREAKING AWAY FROM FRAME CAUSING ENGINE TO DROP PUNCTURING THE OIL FILTER. 7 QUARTS OF OIL PUMPED OUT ALL OVER THE HOT EXHAUST AND ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY. WHEN I SAW THE SMOKE I SLOWED DOWN AND TRIED TO GET TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OIL WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER AND ON THE VEHICLE.I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND GOT OUT THINKING IT MAY BE ON FIRE. THANKFULLY IT WAS NOT. I ALSO HOPE THERE IS NO ENGINE DAMAGE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THERE SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS AN INCOMPLETE WELD ON THE FRAME BRACKET CAUSING THIS FAILURE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME! I,AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE REPAIRS THE DEALER IS PROPOSING. THIS TRUCK IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 18,000 MILES.*DT *TR
