Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
THE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT I CAN'T USE THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR TRUCK HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT THE FRAMES WERE MADE WITH BAD STEEL, AS THE SPRING HANGERS ARE FINE, IT SEEMS TO BE JUST THE FRAME. *JS
RUSTED, ROTTED OUT CHASSIS / FRAME. NOT SURFACE RUST! NO RUST ON THE REST OF THE TRUCK. TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE. ONLY GOT HALF THE EXPECTED LIFE EXPECTED OUT OF A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK. I HAVE OWNED 100 TRUCKS OF EVERY MAKE AND THIS IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. REPORTED TO MANUFACTUER WITH NO RESPONSE. *JS
CHASSIS / FRAME IS TOTALLY DETERIORATED FROM RUST WHICH HAS DESTROYED THE STEEL. THIS IS NOT SURFACE RUST. IT HAS ROTTED AWAY TO THE POINT THAT THE TRUCK CAN NOT SAFELY CARRY A LOAD AND WOULD BE UNSAFE ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED ON A 10 YEAR OLD TRUCK AND GONE UNDETECTED COULD HAVE DISASTROUS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN FLEET MAINTAINED, POWER WASHED, UNDERCOATED AND PAINTED ON A REGULAR BASIS. FOR SAFETY REASONS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO REMOVE THIS TRUCK FROM SERVICE 5-10 YEARS PREMATURELY. THE DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR RESPONSE. *JS

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
