    What Owners Say

    Other steering/suspension problem

    "At odometer = 872 miles (i.e., BRAND NEW... I'd had it exactly TWO WEEKS) - started throwing warning message in dash "Service Power Steering - Drive With Care". Had it in to shop, they couldn't figure it out. Told me to NOT tow, and recommended I NOT take vehicle on "road trip" for which I needed my truck! Eventually, said it needed a new steering gear, but that the part was backordered. THREE MONTHS later, they finally replaced the part. I have not had recurrence of the issue in the 7 months since. It was VERY Frustrating, to have a BRAND NEW TRUCK that I couldn't use!"
