Vehicle Speed Control · at 50,000 miles · reported Nov 5, 2004
Accelerator pedal sticks ! Jerks the vehicle when it finally engages...can cause an accident when pulling out of a parking lot. It happens when vehicle is being driven or just backing out. It has been this way since we purchased the truck 3 months ago. This is a constant,repeat and habitual problem that needs to be investigated further.
Exterior Lighting · at 80,000 miles · reported Aug 18, 2004
Brake lights failed for the second time since 2000. Took vehicle for recalled mfs in december 2002 recall #01v-364. At that time the switch had failed. I assumed the switch was replaced. This is the second time this vehicle needs a new mfs, dealer claims that mfs was not the recalled part. Dealer claims the hazard switch is the recall part and that this time the hazard switch is working properly. The symptoms are the exact same as the first time the vehicle was recalled.

Engine and Engine Cooling · reported May 11, 2004
Engine knock in cold start(It sounds like a diesel engine truck), the dealer says it's carbon build up,but I did some research and found out that carbon build up is probably not the cause. The cuase is more likely to be a piston slap,because when they designed this engine they made the piston skirts too short creating a gap between the cylinder wall and the piston, causing the piston to rattle inside the cylinder wall when you first start the engine,now because the pistons are made out of aluminum this material expands with heat and contracts with the cold,so when you start the engine you can…
Tires · at 88,000 miles · reported Feb 26, 2004
The spare tire & spare tire bracket broke loose from my truck & fell off while I was driving down the freeway. I never saw it happen but it had never been used & could not have been removed by other means in my opinion.
