UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY TRUCK WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OFF AND REST ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM HAVE THEY HEAR ANY OTHER OWNERS SAY IT HAPPEN TO THEM. THEY AT LIKE I WAS SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CHECK IT UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT. ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. EVEN ON A CLEAR NIGHT I HAVE TO PUT MY FOG LIGHTS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF THE ROAD IS WET WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC I JUST POINT THE TRUCK AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE IF I CAN HELP IT. I HAVE FOUND AN AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT BULB THAT MAY HELP.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A EXTREME TURN TO THE RIGHT STRIKING THE GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED OFF THE RAILING CAUSING THE REAR BUMPER TO STRIKE THE RAILING. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED INTO THE DRIVING LANES BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. I THEN PULLED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY TO SURVEY DAMAGE. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL FAULT LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. SINCE THIS WAS A ONE VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES I DID NOT CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROADWAY. ADDITIONALLY THERE WERE RAIN SHOWERS IN THE AREA AND THE ROADWAY WAS WET, THERE WAS NO POOLING OF WATER AT THE ACCIDENT SITE.THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 50 DEGREES AND THE GROUND WAS WARM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR QUIT SOME TIME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A FUEL CAP. AFTER LEAVING THERE A FEW DAYS LATER, SAME THING. BUT THEN I NOTICED FUELING IT UP TOOK 15 TO 20 MINUTES. SO I TOOK IT BACK I ANDROID THEM ABOUT THE LIGHT AND THE FUELING PROBLEM. AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING I GET A CALL SAYING THAT MY FILTER LAYING IN THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK WAS PLUGGED. WHICH SUCKED MY FUEL TANK DOWN LIKE A PANCAKE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT INSTEAD OF THE FUEL CAP BREATHING OUT ITWASSUCKING IN, PULLING ALL KINDS OF DUST INTO THE TANK. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS FILTER WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE FOUND NO LITERATURE ON THIS EITHER. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRUCK AND IT IS NOT COVERED. WHAT CAN I DO?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN USING THE HORN DRIVING OR STATIONARY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY FROM DEPRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER AND THE HORN SOUNDING. THE DELAY RENDERS THE HORN RELATIVELY USELESS FOR TIMELY WARNING TO OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MULTIPLE CLOSE CALLS. HORNS ARE MEANT AS WARNING DEVICES, SECONDS COUNT AT SPEED AND THIS DELAY IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE.
