On June 8th 2012 I had just finished work and was on my way home when this pos truck stalled at the lights in the middle of the intersction! I tried several times to restart it the only thing that happened was that my battery died! I paid for a battery boost ($20) and still nothing! I called for a tow truck, brought it home since most shops are closed at 3am and on Monday had it towed again to Active Green and Ross around the corner from where I live. $200 in towing charges later I was told that both fuel pumps (primary/secondary) were the cause and that they were intermitently shorting out the fuse.Along with rear brakes needing complete relining and front struts were shot!! I had just bought this pos two months ago and purchased xtened warranty($2500) which of coarse doesn't cover sh*t let alone what the problems were that were making my life hell. I called the dealership where I bought the pos and told them that this is b---s---t especially since someone signed off on the safety. The total cost to get the truck working and fix the items that should have been dealt with before they sold me the truck would come to $5100,00. They said that they would pick-up the truck and fix the problem themselves and that was on June 14th which they did pick it up but, I'm still waiting for them to fix it. Instead of replacing the fuel pumps they say they can't find why the pumps are shorting out the fuse!! Today it's been almost 3 weeks I've been without my truck and still no closer to getting it fixed and returned Grrrrrrrr!!!!
