RUSTED FRAME, REPORTED TO FCA 2/19/19 , PRESENTED TO DEALERSHIP 2/25/19, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT LIFT TRUCK FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE IS A HOLE ROTTED THROUGH THE FRAME RAIL FORWARD OF REAR TIRE.

Detachment of the front fuel tank strap could potentially allow the front of th…

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT AND SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR MESSAGE COMES ON APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MILES AFTER REFUELING. TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE THEN CLEARS ITSELF AFTER STARTING 4 OR 5 TIMES OVER THE PERIOD OF A DAY OR TWO. DEALER CAN'T LOCATE THE PROBLEM. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW. DEALER HAS UPDATED SOFTWARE, REPLACED GAS TANK, REPLACED GAS CAP, AND REPLACED TPS. SAME ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR

Owner report 10578894 · 2014-04-10 (April 10, 2014)
SEVERE SHAKING AT HIGHWAYS SPEED,APPEARED TO BE A WHEEL OR ENGINE PROBLEM SO PARKED THE VEHICLE AND MADE APPOINTMENT TO DEALER, REVEALED THAT THE ONE STRAP HOLDING THE FUEL TANK WAS OFF AND THE OTHER WAS SO LOOSE AS TO MAKE THE TANK ERRATICALLY WITH A CHANCE OF FALLING OFF. INCREDIBLE THAT A PERSON SPENDS ALMOST $60,000 AND YOU GET A VEHICLE WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY CREATE A HAZARD SUCH AS THIS! WHAT ELSE IS COMING? *TR
