Typical body and structure symptoms owners report
- Water intrudes into the front passenger or driver floor area, soaking carpet and causing mold that dealers struggle to trace to a leak source.
- Front door hinges or door check spot welds crack or break, producing loud creaking, popping, or cracking noises and doors that swing wildly or won't stay open.
- Door frame fractures around the driver's side door have caused the window to stop rolling down or the entire door to require replacement.
- Hood latch has stuck shut on at least one vehicle, blocking access to underhood components.
- The truck lacks a metal skid plate, leaving the EVAP system exposed to damage that can let gas vapors escape.
