Consumer Description

I DROVE THIS PICKUP THREE TIMES BEFORE RUNNING INTO A BAD OVERHEAT PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC THAT DAY. MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE HEADING OUT FOR THE WEEKEND FOR SOME CAMPING AND FUN WHEN MY BRAND NEW TRUCK OVERHEATED ON THE FREEWAY AND SPILLED COOLANT ALL OVER THE FREEWAY. THIS PROBLEM RUINED OUR WHOLE WEEKEND AND MY HOPES OF HAVING A GOOD RELIABLE TRUCK. NOW I AM HAVING EXTREME DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING ANYONE IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HELP WITH MY PROBLEM ABOUT REPORTING TO THE MANUFACTURER.*AK
