The two problems are speedometer does not work properly and hasn't for some time, at speeds over 55 the needle either goes to 85 and stay's there or bounces around between 50 and 85, both dealers contacted about the problem have said w/o even seeing truck it needs new speedo b/c the original batch used from the factory were defective. Problem 2 is the parking brake, was fixed under recall but has never worked correctly and dealer has said they won't fix again.
