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.
Transmission will not go into passing gear after 62 mph. Dealer cannot fix defect. The transmission problem still exists. The idler pulley was worn and noisy.
Oil pan rusted out and started leaking. I caught it before all oil lost on road and avoided an accident. I heard about the problem through a friend that lost all his oil and seized engine. This truck is otherwise in excellent condition. It has never plowed snow. It virtually has no other rust. Oil pans should not rust out. If oil is lost at highway speeds, a serious accident could occur.
Noticed when doing oil changes thatengine oil pan corroded which was caused by the undercoating bubbles corroding the steel underneath, eventually putting a hole in the oil pan. This caused oil to leak out. Contacted the dealer who said this was a common problem.
The oil pan has sustained significant rust and has started leaking moter oil. The failure seems premature given that the vehicle is only 4.5 years old. Significant amounts of oil are leaking to the underside of the truck including exhust and braking systems. Motor oil is also leaking onto the raodway.
At the above date and time, the oil pan on this vehicle began to display large rust blisters. An inspection by the dealer showed that the oil pan had rusted through.
