Brought vehicle in to comply with recall. No problems previous to recall, after receiving vehicle back all problems started. Recall work was not done properly. Screws were not reattached to covering over fan belt, oil change and new filter were not done according to recall. Knocking started to occur in engine after vehicle was returned to me. Called dealership back to report the 2 screws missing anda knocking sound coming from engine. Was told to stop in on sat. To have someone put in the missing screws. Returned to shop noone was around to do the work. While driving the truck sat. The engine oil lights up. Had to find a store to buy oil and add to crankcase. Had to do this twice that night. The vehicle is now at the dealeship. I have been told I need a new engine. They will put in a rebuilt engine. I am not satisfied with this solution. I feel that they have ruined my truck and I won't feel safe and secure in it anymore. Please contact me so I can explain further.
Truck is used as family transportation, never been involved in any accidents. Tie rod end broke turning in to a parking lot. Towed to dealer. Finally got it fixed 9 days later, was told there was a national backorder on the part. Drove the truck 1 day before the other side tie rod broke - pulling out of my driveway at approx. 5M.P.H.. towed again to dealer to have second tie rod replaced.
