THE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT I CAN'T USE THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR TRUCK HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT THE FRAMES WERE MADE WITH BAD STEEL, AS THE SPRING HANGERS ARE FINE, IT SEEMS TO BE JUST THE FRAME. *JS
CHASSIS / FRAME IS TOTALLY DETERIORATED FROM RUST WHICH HAS DESTROYED THE STEEL. THIS IS NOT SURFACE RUST. IT HAS ROTTED AWAY TO THE POINT THAT THE TRUCK CAN NOT SAFELY CARRY A LOAD AND WOULD BE UNSAFE ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED ON A 10 YEAR OLD TRUCK AND GONE UNDETECTED COULD HAVE DISASTROUS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN FLEET MAINTAINED, POWER WASHED, UNDERCOATED AND PAINTED ON A REGULAR BASIS. FOR SAFETY REASONS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO REMOVE THIS TRUCK FROM SERVICE 5-10 YEARS PREMATURELY. THE DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR RESPONSE. *JS
RUSTED, ROTTED OUT CHASSIS / FRAME. NOT SURFACE RUST! NO RUST ON THE REST OF THE TRUCK. TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE. ONLY GOT HALF THE EXPECTED LIFE EXPECTED OUT OF A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK. I HAVE OWNED 100 TRUCKS OF EVERY MAKE AND THIS IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. REPORTED TO MANUFACTUER WITH NO RESPONSE. *JS
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
