Most Recent Complaints
Engine lag and performance drops while driving vehicle. Vehicle was taken to the dealership and remained at dealership for five days. Employee was given permission to drive the vehicle to experience the issue. Issue was confirmed by dealership, but they stated it's one of three issues and they would have to repair all three issues at my cost to figure out what's causing the engine lag.
Water leak at the rear window leading to mold growth. Continues to leak after repaired twice by dealership.
I tried to honk the horn when a car started to come into my lane and discovered that it was not working. I took it to the dealership, and they said it needed a new steering wheel as the contacts that operate the horn were faulty. they told me that the steering wheel airbag would not be operational due to this problem until it was fixed. This is a 2022 pickup with only 10,000 miles on it. I’ve never had to use the Horn before I, so to discover that the issue is pretty serious was disconcerting, and of course my 36 month bumper-to-bumper is used up. This vehicle is basically brand-new, and there should be a recall on this vehicle.
