CLUNKING NOISE UNDER DRIVER'S FLOORBOARD TURNING (USUALLY RT AND 5-25 MPH), THROUGH A DIP. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, SO NOT FIXED. DEEP, SOLID, METAL SOUND; COULD IT BE TORSION BAR HITTING CROSS-MEMBER ON FRAME? I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK IN FOR STEERING SHAFT (EVENTUALLY REPLACED W/UPDATED COMPLETE SHAFT AFTER 6 VISITS!), IN FOR CLUNKING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP (FLUSHED TRANSFER CASE 2X AND NOW IS FINE), IN FOR NEW BELT AND TENSIONER, IN FOR NEW STEERING PUMP, IN FOR NEW REGULATOR IN PASSENGER WINDOW, IN FOR NEW REAR-END U-JOINT AND CREAKING REAR LEAF SPRINGS/BUSHINGS, IN FOR 4WD SERVICE LIGHT (MODE SWITCH REPLACED), IN FOR STICKY THROTTLE BODY, IN FOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS, IN FOR WIND NOISE ON DRIVER'S SIDE AROUND WINDSHIELD (NEVER FIXED!), IN FOR NOISY A/C (FOAM FROM FACTORY STUCK IN SYSTEM), FUEL GAGE SENSOR REPLACED BEFORE TAKING DELIVERY. TIRED OF THIS TRUCK, BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A DIFFERENT ONE DUE TO DEPRECIATION FACTOR!

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
