THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGES DON'T ALWAYS WORK. WE WERE ON FREEWAY WHEN WE NOTICED SPEEDOMETER HAD FAILED AS WELL AS FUEL GAUGE , TEMP GAUGE ALL GAUGES INOPERATIVE. THIS IS THIRD TIME CLUSTER PANEL IS BEING REPLACED; FIRST TWO UNDER WARRANTY THIRD TIME WE HAD TO PAY $204.
MY VEHICLE HAD BRAKE LINES REPLACE TWO TIMES WITH LESS THAN 65,000 MILES BECAUSE BREAKS STOP WORKING. FUEL LINE REPLACED UNDER 55,000 MILES BECAUSE IT MADE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC,OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HIGH AND LOW,FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC UNDER 65,000 MILES. LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAS BROKEN TO CALL A WHITE SMOKE FROM THE MOTOR. EVERYTHING HAPPENED WITH CONSIDER TO BE LOW MILEAGE IN TALKING TO GM THEY DON'T CARE BECAUSE ENOUGH REPORT HAS NOT BEEN MADE.
STARTED WITH SPEEDOMETER, THEN GAS GAUGE, THEN EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE DASHBOARD STOPPED WORKING *TR
PARKED MY TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY TONIGHT AND SHUT IT OFF. THE MIRRORS WENT CRAZY, AND THE RADIO WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I STARTED THE TRUCK AND SHUT IT BACK OFF. THE RADIO WENT OFF. SINCE OWNING THE TRUCK, WHICH IS NOT VERY LONG, I HAVE HAD THE POWER SEATS READJUST THEMSELVES, BY THEM SELVES, AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS CRUSHING ME. I AM A BIG MAN AND I PREFER THAT NO ONE ADJUST MY SEATS, AS I HAVE THEM JUST RIGHT FOR ME. THIS TRUCK AND ITS WIRING/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ARE PROBLEMATIC. SO SORRY I BOUGHT IT NOW. *TR
MY IGNITION ALSO SWITCHES OFF DUE TO THE KEY CHAIN BEING TO HEAVY, I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE FIXED AS WELL. I THINK GM IS NOT TELLING THE WHOLE STORY ON HOW MANY VEHICLE ARE AFFECTED BY THE IGNITION SWITCHES. I CAN PROVE MY CLAIM BY ATTACHING MY TWO KEY CHAINS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CHANGED THE DISPLAY AND LANGUAGE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000. *TR
MY TRUCK IS A WORK TRUCK DRIVEN BY AN EMPLOYEE, I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BECOME AWARE OF A CONDITION REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHEREIN THE WHOLE PANEL DOES NOT WORK, I WAS ADVISED BY THE EMPLOYEE THAT THIS HAPPENED QUITE SOME TIME AGO, BUT WAS NEVER MADE AWARE. I CONTACTED GMC BUT APPARENTLY, BECAUSE THIS IS CONSIDERED A SPECIAL POLICY RECALL (ONLY IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS - AND WITHIN A SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD 7 YRS OR 80,000 MILES) THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE, NOR WAS I AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD. I WAS FURTHER INFORMED BY MY WORKER THAT AT THE TIME THE PANEL WENT OUT, THE FAN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITION UNIT APPEARED TO SMOKE AND NOW IT DOES NOT WORK. HERE AGAIN, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS DEFECT EITHER. FINALLY, IN MY ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CLUSTER REPAIRED, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HYDRO BOOST ACCUMULATOR... I HAVE NOT ONCE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS VEHICLE AND I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. MY VEHICLE HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT A VEHICLE OF THIS NATURE WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 100,000. BUT APPARENTLY NOT... ALSO, WHEN THESE IS SUCH A MAJOR RECALL OUT ON A VEHICLE YOU WOULD THINK THAT GMC WOULD CONTACT YOU AND ADVISE YOU OF THIS PROBLEM.. *TR
DRIVING DOWN/UP A VERY CURVY ROAD AND MY SPEEDOMETER BECAME INACCURATE. I HAD TO USE MY GPS THE BEST I COULD TO KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING, SO THAT I WOULDN'T SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT AT THE WRONG SPEEDS. IN PARK AT ONE POINT SAID 56MPH, AT ANOTHER POINT 45-50MPH. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY/GMC DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. WAITING FOR THE APPROPRIATE PARTS, BUT THE PARTS ARE GOING TO COST ME OVER $400 + LABOR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT AFFECTS ALL MY GAUGES, NOT JUST MY SPEEDOMETER, MINE JUST SHOWED ITSELF THROUGH THE SPEEDOMETER. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS COST TO INCUR FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T FAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE. *KB
RECEIVED A CONDITIONAL LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT MY VEHICLE MY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION RESULTING FROM CORROSION THAT MAY EFFECT THE RELAY RESISTOR MODULE AND WIRE CONNECTOR FOR THE HEATER/HVAC FAN MOTOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE WIRE AND/OR RESISTOR COULD OVERHEAT. THIS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE. I HAVE FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE THAT A CO-WORKERS TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE ON JULY 26, 2011 DO TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED VIA THE INTERNET ABOUT FIRE DAMAGE FROM THIS CONDITION. I HAVE TALKED TO GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY FAILED TO REACT. MY CO-WORKER DID NOT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO HIS VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE UNDER HIS DASH THAT TOTALED HIS TRUCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY TRUCK WILL CATCH FIRE WITHOUT NOTICE AND AS A RESULT POTENTIALLY BURN DOWN MY HOUSE. WHENEVER SOMEONE DESCRIBES A SYMPTOM AS A BURNING SMELL OR SMOKE IT IS POTENTIALLY TO LATE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM OR DEATH. *KB
THE SPEEDOMETER UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-4. IT WAS REGISTERING 65MPH ONE MINUTE, THEN THE NEXT 0 MPH. THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. T THAT TIME, I HAD APPROXIMATELY 69000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME TO TRY AND RESTARTING IT AND IT SHOULD START WORKING RIGHT AGAIN. WHICH IT DID. IT HAS CONTINUED TO ACT UP SINCE AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT ITS IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A HAZARD AS WHEN IT STOPS WORKING, I HAVE KNOW IDEA AS TO MY SPEED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY GM AND THEY OFFERED A EXTENDED FIX OPTION, BUT DID NOT NOTIFY GM OWNERS OF THIS HAZARD. *TR
IM THE OWNER OF A 2004 GMC HD SIERRA TRUCK WITH ALMOST 74K MILES. IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SOME MONTHS BACK THE GAS GAUGE STATED SHOWING GAS READINGS WAY BEYOND FULL.IT WOULD STAY THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME BEFORE GOING BACK TO NORMAL THAN IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN. LAST WEEK THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WENT BEYOND THE 120 MILE READING AND CONTINUES TO SHOW HIGH SPEEDS -EVEN WHEN IM PARKED. IM CONCERN ABOUT DANGER THIS FAILURES MAY CAUSE TO ME OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I WILL CONTACT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER FOR A FIX. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND IT WOULD INDICATE A FASTER SPEED THAN HE WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CARRIER BEARINGS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ELEVATE THE VEHICLE AND MOVE THE WHEEL ABOUT A HALF INCH IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 MODEL PRODUCED IN 2004; HOWEVER, THE VIN DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A 2004. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH, SMOKE EXPELLED FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AIR VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED OPERATION WITHOUT THE SMOKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006-2009 GMC SIERRA MODELS, THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS 10V24000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

2004 GMC SIERRA SLT DURAMAX 2500HD. 92,000 MILES. WELL -MAINTAINED. WITH NO WARNING SPEEDOMETER READ FORTY MILES TOO LOW. WE THOUGHT WE WERE ENTERING THE FREEWAY AT 60, WHILE IN FACT WE WERE GOING 20. WE ALMOST GOT RAMMED BY A TRUCK. IT IS ILLEGAL TO GO 20 ON AN INTERSTATE. THIS REQUIRED SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER REPLACEMENT COSTING $529. GM REFUSED ANY COVERAGE OF THE COST. I SUGGESTED THEY COVER HALF THE CLUSTER PART, $175. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID, "NO." IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS WOULD BE IT! I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS REGARDING THESE SPEEDOMETERS. OUR VIN IS ON THEIR "SILENT RECALL" LIST. NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUING OPEN ENDED RECALLS FOR SAFETY ITEMS SUCH AS THESE. THE MISSION IS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC? *TR
LETTER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN DIFFICULTIES DEALING WITH GM REGARDING A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS IN HIS 2004 GMC K2500 PICKUP TRUCK. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. HE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. AFTER 45 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE NEXT DAY, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE MECHANIC FOUND LOOSE PINS ON THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS AT C107 AND C108. THE MECHANIC STATED HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE VEHICLE STALLING, BUT THEY WERE LOOSE. SINCE, THE FIRST FAILURE, THERE HAVE BEEN 10 MORE FAILURES. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE JULY 2, 2009 WITHOUT A SPECIFIC CAUSE BEING FOUND.*JB
VEHICLE DIES FROM TIME TO TIME, AND WILL NOT START FROM 10 TO 45 MINUTES LATER AFTER THE ENGINE DIES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL TO ANY OF THE STARTING CIRCUITS. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEED SET AT 70 MPH, IN LEFT LANE. POWER STEERING LOST, POWER BRAKING LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRITICAL, MEDIAN WAS WOODED SO HAD TO STEER DEAD VEHICLE TO RIGHT LANE AND OFF HIGHWAY. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED 11 TIMES AND THE LAST TWO WERE IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE NEXT TO LAST BEING IN A CURVE ON A 4 LANE UNDIVIDED STATE HIGHWAY AND COMING WITHIN INCHES OF A REAR END COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE LOOSE PINS AT CONNECTOR, BUT THE MECHANIC SAID HE WAS UNSURE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, THIS WAS AT THE FIRST FAILURE IN 2004. THE LAST TIME IT DIED WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY, RESULTING IN DODGING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR CLOSE TO ONE MONTH, WITH NO SURE CAUSE OF FAILURE. GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER SAID THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY GMC K2500 IN THE WORLD WITH THIS REPORTED PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE FAILS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND DATES. BEGINNING ON 05/09/04 TO 06/28/09 AND WAS PLACED IN THE REPAIR SHOP ON 07/02/09 THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO LOSS OF ALL POWER ASSIST AND DIFFICULT TO BRAKE AND STEER DURING THIS CONDITION. DURING VARIOUS REPAIR SHOP VISITS "NOTHING IS FOUND" EXCEPT THE DOWNLOAD SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL FAILURES....... *TR
I HAVE A COMPLAINT WITH GMC. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT I KNOW WITH THE 2003/2004 TRUCK. I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA AND MY GAUGES DO NOT WORK. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SHOWING I'M DRIVING 5MPH. MY OIL PRESSURE GAGE IS NOT RIGHT. I TALKED WITH DIFFERENT SERVICE GUYS FROM GMC DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY WERE REPLACING THE PANEL CLUSTERS LEFT AND RIGHT IN THESE TRUCKS. GMC WILL NOT CONSIDER IT A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE! THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE HELD COUNTABLE OF IT. NOT THE CONSUMER! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER HOW MANY MILES YOUR TRUCK HAS. THEY HAVE A BAD PART IN OR INSTALLED IT WRONG THEY NEED TO FIX IT.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME! I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET THIS INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER TO BECOME A RECALL.. THANKS AGAIN! P.S. SRY I JUST PUT TODAYS DATE IN THE INCIDENT BOX.. *TR
SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS 0-70MPH WHEN VEHICLE SITTING AT DEAD STOP. REGISTERS ERRATIC WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION. SOMETIMES READS CORRECTLY, OTHER TIMES COMPLETELY WRONG. HAVE DISCONNECTED BATTERY TO RESET SPEED SENSOR. NOTHING WORKS. *TR
ALLISON TRANSMISSION HOUSING FAILED AT 54,000 MILES. GM PAID PARTS, I PAID 1,200.00 LABOR , WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS 2 BULLETINS OUT ON DEFECTIVE HOUSING AND WHEN THEY FINISHED REPAIR THEY SAID THEY INSTALLED UPDATED HOUSING SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN. DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE PAID ANYTHING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED! AT 105,000 MILES TRANSFER CASE FAILED , COST 1,150.00 TO REPAIR, HAVE HAD TO TAKE BACK 2 MORE TIMES AS REPAIR WAS NOT DONE RIGHT. AT 112.000 MILES SPEEDOMETER BECAME ERRATIC WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ,AND SEE ON COMPLAINT SEARCH IT IS , CONSIDER THIS A GREAT SAFETY DANGER AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SPEED I'M GOING CAN ONLY GUESS NOT FIXED YET FOUND SOME WHO SELLS REBUILT ONES FOE 150.00 ,SAID THEIR REBUILDING THEM DUE THE LARGE NUMBER THAT ARE FAILING. ALSO AT 112,000 MILES PARK NEUTRAL SWITCH STARTED ACTING UP ,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ,SHIFT BAR LIGHT GOES AWAY, TRUCK WON'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND STAY IN CERTAIN GEARS WITHOUT SHIFTING UP ,EFFECTS DOOR LOCKS.

HAVE TAKEN TRUCK BACK IN WAITING FOR INFORMATION. ALSO AROUND 90,000 MILES HAD VERY HARD TIME STARTING TRUCK AND TRUCK RAN POORLY,PROBLEM BECAME WORSE TOOK IN, FUEL INJECTORS WERE BAD AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 112,000 MILES NO NEED TO SAY I'M NOT A GMC FAN ANYMORE , EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN LANSING MI ( A GM TOWN)AND HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY EMPLOYED THERE.

2004 GMC SIERRA SPEEDOMETER READING FLUXUATES INTERMITTENTLY, SHOWING INCORRECT SPEED. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR AT 54,000 MILES. *TR
SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT APPROX 45,000 MI. FOLLOWED BY OIL PRESSURE AND VOLTMETER AT APPROX 60,000 MI. ALSO COOLANT LEAK BEHIND TIMING COVER AT APPROX 50,000 MI. *TR
INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL SPECIFICALLY THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOW FROZEN AT 120 MPH. IT HAPPENED AT JUST UNDER 60K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAD RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR BUT NOW HAVE TO MANY MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CAP ON MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 70K. IM HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY. GMC WANTING SOME $500 - $600. DOLLARS TO FIX THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE. THE 2004 CHEVY I OWN AS WELL DID THE EXACT SAME THING. NO PROBLEM HERE IS THERE? *TR
SPEEDOMETER GIVES CRAZY READINGS AND NEVER GIVES ACCURATE SPEEDS. COST TO REPAIR IS $450 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAUGE CLUSTER. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM ON THE LOCAL DISCUSSION BOARDS. GM SHOULD FIX THIS INSTEAD OF MAKING MONEY OFF OF DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY CLUSTER GAUGE OF MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500HD WENT BAD. BOTH MY FATHER AND BROTHER HAVE 2004 CHEVY SILVERADOS 2500HD AND THEY BOTH RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND BOTH OF THEM HAD THEIR SPEEDOMETERS GO BAD AND CHEVY FIXED THEM. OF COURSE MINE ALSO GOES BAD AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL OR DEFECT KNOWN AND WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A WORKING SPEEDOMETER WHEN GMC SHOULD FIX THE DEFECT IN MINE. I KNEW THE CLUSTER MUST HAVE BEEN GOING OUT SOON BECAUSE A MONTH PRIOR THE CLUSTER WOULD RANDOMLY RESET MY TOTAL ENGINE HOURS SO NOW I WILL NEVER EVEN KNOW HOW MANY ENGINE HOURS ON MY TRUCK EVEN WHEN I DO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE LESS THAN 60K MILES. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
