What owners say
Battery weak, check engine soon light comes on while driving. Replace fuel filter. *bf the vehicle was taken tot he dealer who scanned the PCM and found dtc for engine misfire and injectors not dropping fuel pressure when commanded. Injectors 2 and 6 were cleaned. The cruise control light flashed on and off although the cruise control was not engaged. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
Engine check light went on day after purchase. Saturday. Returned to dealer on monday for checkup. Dealer said they couldn't reproduce the problem. Check engine light went on 08/10/2000. Returned to dealer. This time they checked the national computer and found that the knock sensors were overtorqued at the factory and replaced them. Why didn't they check the national computer when they had the truck the first time? Started truck up in am 11/13-/2000 oil light came on. Checked oil, was full. Started truck up again, thought maybe guage was incorrect. Still no oil pressure. They towed truck in and replaced oil pump. The mileage was only 4513. I wanted engine replace, but they said there was no damage . Gas pedal sticking at 23550 miles. Returned truck to dealer. They installed new throttle body.also oil filler tube was not installed correctly. Oil was leaking from tube. They fixed this also.at 26581 miles engine started to have valve noise on cold startup. Returned to dealer. They said nothing was wrong. On 12/05/2001 returned truck due to tapping noise. This time they said it was due to castrol oil filter. They changed oil and put on pf59 filter. Thought problem was fixed. Engine still has lift noise on cold startup. Also complained of transmission double shifting. Dealer can't find anything wrong. This truck has been in the shop so many times they should extend the warranty to 10 years, but I know they are afraid to do that.
Engine light stays on;motor roars;in shop 5 times;replaced fuel injectors, fuel filter, fuel injectors again, replaced gaskets,o-rings, brake line, etc. Because they said there was water in gas tank causing the problem. Service engine lights stays on, motor still making noise, 200 miles from being out of warrenty. This problem has continued for 7,000 miles and going on 7 months. Cannot leave town in my new truck, cannot get withing 30 miles of home, stays parked in yard. This vehicle is a piece of made in the USA trash. Lemon?
Engine light on due to internal failure with evap solenoid, replaced evaporative emission canister purge valve, ignition coil wire open. Nlm
