This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The low beam head lights constantly goes out. I have to shake or wiggle them to get them to work sometimes. Finally, they will stop working all together after a few days. The lights most of the time will not come on after the truck has been switched off and I start it up and the lights will not come back on.
Both head lights randomly go out while driving in the city, highway, country road, turning, regardless of the weather.. sometimes only one headlight goes out other times both headlights go out at the same time. Yellow fog lights stay on. Bright lights will work and turn on. I have to pull over everytime this happens, open the hood of my truck and move the wires arounf that attaches to the headlight that went out. It will work momentarily and then go out again. This is happened multiple times. From November until current. The problem started with the drivers side headlight going out and now both go out. The lights go out at multiple speeds.
Right headlight is in-operable. Light bulb has been replaced with oe bulb, light still does not work. Dealer stated this is an ongoing issue with this make and model. Dealer also stated I would need multiple hours of diagnostic to determine the issue. No accidents, no collisions. Vehicle at this time is unsafe to drive at night. Multiple dealers in my area have noted this as an issue for my make and model. Right low beam is completely in-operable.
Lights go dim on it all the time and the electric system in it is bad sometimes the air condition works most of the time it don't and the cruise quit working in
I was pulled over twice with in 30 mins for having a my right passenger headlight out. I've replaced the headlight, checked fuses, relay and tested the socket power and all were fine
Working in the yard, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there appeared to be moisture in my passenger side taillight. An inspection of the taillight showed multiple fractures in the housing across the rear portion. These fractures allow water to enter the unit. A fracture roughly a quarter inch up limits the water accumulation. I then checked the driver's side unit & noticed the same failure is starting. At the time of discovery I had just over 1000 engine hours on the vehicle and just over 126K miles. I purchased the vehicle new & I have owned the vehicle roughly 38.5 months. Bulbs have a greater life expectancy than the taillight assembly designed to protect them and promote safety. The dealer says the replacement of the assemblies are my issue. These items are required by state and federal law to meet certain standards. Depending on fracture placement the bulbs may short out or fail due to corrosion. Failure of the assembly can lead to someone missing a turn signal, a stop or notice that you are backing up. I believe these failures increase the possibility of having an accident. Based prior experiences with other vehicles I believe this is a manufacture defect. I'm theorizing that because the rear of my vehicle catches the evening sun it is my belief that these were designed using cheaper materials that potentially did not provide for the ability to holdup to the uv rays of natural sunlight. The driver's side and third light on the cab received more shade due to a neighbor's tree that was removed last year so the sun impact would be less. I notice there is another complaint for this model year about a cab placed rear light assembly echoing the same issue.
