Passlock system engages without cause. when starting my truck, it acts like it will and then shuts down after a second, and then the security light comes on. this is common with past lock system errors. this happens about 1 out of 4 starts. to get the car started, i have to go through a reset process that takes over 30 min, which causes battery drain. this has left myself and family members stranded in unsafe situations several times. most recently i was stuck on the side of the highway, after stopping to change a flat at 11pm. after not starting with these same symtoms, while trying to do the 30min. relearn process, the battery did not have enough to start the truck. so i was then stuck there for 3 more hours waiting on a tow truck for a jump. i was stranded for over 3 1/2 hours. this issue has been happening for the last 2 years, and have spent about 4k dollars to try and fix it.
Frame and it's crossmembers rusted out. frame has holes and cracks. will undoubdtedly fail completely (break) if use is continued. seems to be a common problem with this and other similar models.
While driving i hit a bump and heard a weird clunk noise. when i got home i went under the vehicle and discovered a small crack in the left frame bar near the back of the cab. the underneath of this truck has been a rusty mess for a few years now despite regular washing to remove salt etc. from driving in pennsylvania in the winter. had to replace brake lines for the same reason, rust.
Vehicle key ignition problem. reason to my concern is that i'm be able to take the key out while it in drive or any other positions. to my concern that said key can potentially fall out during motion of vehicle from ignitions and can pose serious accidents if said vehicle was to turn off while in drive. please consider evaluating this ordeal and come to a conclusion! for the sake of the citizens. god american!
