Consumer Description

We bought our truck in August 2023. At the end of January 2024 a light came on saying we had 150 miles before the engine shut down to 5 mph. A week later we get a recall letter, and take it to a dealership, they fix the recall they said, but before we got home, the light came on again. They told us to drive it a few days and it might go off. It stayed on we took it back to dealership. The recall apparently says to reprogram the def system. That is not the problem. The dealership said they did their part. Carmax said they don’t cover anything. We did buy an extended warranty. They came in an inspector looked at the truck and approved to only replace the def injector, one nut and a sensor. The problem that we face is that when they go to replace the deaf injector it possibly is going to damage the STR or SCR pipe no one will cover that. So we are now facing four to $8000 for repairs to a truck we just bought. we’ve only had it four months. Someone should be liable. We are now without transportation, no way for my husband to get to work so we will probably end up losing his job and the truck and have to move all over a defective truck that was sold to us.
