When moving vehicle after fueling, truck was stopped, put in park and driver opened the door to exit the vehicle. The truck unexpectedly began moving backward and the driver was knocked to the ground by the door. The door caught the door on the fuel pump guard post, bending the door back beyond 90 degrees and bending the hinge, and causing irreparable damage to the door and fender, and also caused damage to a car fueling at the pump when it struck it. The door does not open or close properly.

Vehicle was parked in the driveway. Upon washing the cab with a lower pressure garden hose a large hole formed in the back corner of the cab. Upon closer inspection it appears to be rusted from the inside out. I check the other side of the cab and see that the paint is badly bubbled up indicating rust under the paint on that side as well. The clear coat was still intact in both places. I would've expected to cab to outlast the windshield wipers, but that's not the case. This truck looks show room floor new and has never even been to the salt belt.

The oil pan on my vehicle is rusting out. I think this is due to faulty materials. This vehicle is 6 years old and only has 75,702 miles as of this writing. I contacted the company and their position was there is nothing they could do because there are no warranties left on the vehicle.
