Consumer Description

WITHIN A 2 MONTH PERIOD I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 SEPARATE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. 1ST INCIDENT WAS A SURGING WHEN DEFROST WAS ON. DEALER REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUG WIRES AND SAID THAT IS WAS ARCING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE OR WORSE. 2ND WAS THE GAS GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. DEALER IS REPLACING FUEL SENDER. 3RD WAS 4X4 AND OVERDRIVE NOT WORKING. DEALER INITIALLY REPLACED BLOWN FUSE, BUT 2 DAYS LATER WAS BLOWN AGAIN AND DEALER IS CURRENTLY REPLACING "WIRING" IN STEERING COLUMN THAT WAS SHORTING. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERS. VERY UNSATISFIED!!! VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THE CONTINUING ELECTICAL PROBLEMS AND INCOMPLETE EXPLANATIONS FROM THE DEALER.*AK
