Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tail lights do not come one when daytime running lights are on due to design.
When letting foot off the gas pedal at any speed the truck continues to keep the speed for an excessive amount of time as if on cruise control, and won't slow down until the brakes are applied. Dealer says it's normal.
While driving vehicle about 20 MPH brake pads did not work properly. When applied brake pedal the vehicle started pulling to either side (left of right). The other safety problem involved the throttle sticking when traveling between speeds 10-25 MPH resulting in the vehicle operating as if the cruise control was engaged. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer unable to duplicate the problem.
Noise while accelerating.
