THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL ON THE ROOF ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, WE FELT WE WOULD WAIT TO REPAINT. THEN WE NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE SIDE PANELS IN THE REAR ON BOTH DUALS IS PEELING. SO WE HAVE CALLED THE NUMBERS GIVEN HERE AND WROTE TO KURT RITTER GM GENERAL MANAGER. NO RESPONSE. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THIS TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. TOO BAD FOR YOU.

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.
