FUEL LEVEL GAUGE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ALSO, VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED WHILE BRAKE WAS BEING DEPRESSED ALMOST CAUSING REAR END COLLISION...HAD TO PUT INTO NEUTRAL.

PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND THE TRANSMISSION CABLE BROKE. IT IS PLASTIC AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEATS THE PLASTIC AND CRACKS IT. THE UNDERHOOD FUSE BLOCK WENT WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUCK SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAD TO SPEND 600 DOLLARS FOR A NEW BOX. MY ABS PUMP ALSO WENT DEALER SAID THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE ON THIS TRUCK ALSO. ALSO THE RUNNING BOARDS ON THE TRUCK WERE CHROME. THEY HAVE PEELED AND STARTED TO FLAKE. THE DEALER SAID IT LOOKS LIKE WATER GOT IN THEM AND CAUSED IT TO DO THAT AND THAT IT WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK. IT WAS HIT AND MISS ON SOME OF THEM. *TR

ENGINE STALLED, BRAKES FADED AND AUTO STOPPED. ATTEMPTED TO START MANY TIMES (6) BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN.
