Dealer sold a vehicle as a Florida 2 owner vehicle. I did another carfax on it after I made the purchase to discover dealer sold it to someone in tn and they titled it. Then they returned it. Dealer sold it to me without having title on hand. Vehicle was shipped and dropped off at my house without me being there to look it over. They never told me when it would be shipped. When my mechanic inspected it he seen many issues. One was there were parts on the trucks steering that did not belong. It had the wrong sway bar links installed. When you attempt to turn steering hits the sway bar and it literally bends the body of the truck. There are many power steering issues. The power steering gear box is leaking as well as power steering lines. Definitely not a safe vehicle to be on the road. This was never disclosed when making the purchase. Check engine light is on. Coolant sensor as well as engine knock sensors. When under the vehicle you can hear loud banging. Mechanic suspects connector rods and/or main bearings meaning motor is on its last leg. Lastly, dealership has not sent title nor any paperwork on it. All I got was a broken down truck leaking fluids left in my driveway.
This truck has been worked on multiple times for rust, corrosion, gas tank leaks, bearings and rear differential. It continues to rust and corrode. The motor runs well but the vehicle has rusted even with excellent care. I am so disappointed. The gas tank has been fixed multiple times and continues to corrode and leak. I think that all of these issues need to be checked on. The rear differential has corroded and all of these issues are very expensive every time that it has to be fixed. I would appreciate your help with these problems.
After driving my vehicle to work (around 15 miles), the lights began to dim and the radio turned on and off several times. I parked in the garage where I work, and went to my office to get in touch with a mechanic. About 1/2 hour later, a police officer called because my truck caught fire. It caused damage to the parking structure, and obviously to the vehicle, including melting many of the components under the hood, as well as smoke damage to the inside of the truck. It was totaled.
