Roof support and exterior rear-view mirrors combine to create a wide blind spot on both driver and passenger sides. On the date mentioned, I nearly ran over a pedestrian as he was in the driver's side blind spot and as he walked across the street, remained in that area until I was almost on top of him. On many subsequent dates, I have had cars appear from 'no where' due to being in that area when I approach an intersection. I firmly believe this blind spot contributed to the death of a teenage girl driving a similar truck, she was killed at an intersection North of lyndon, Kansas.

Battery charging at incorrect / inconsistent levels, the gage will show battery charging at 15 or higher and suddenly change to 11 or lower. Vehicle has been at the dealership for service and the mechanics either do not check it or fail to acknowledge the issue. Today the dealer provided a bulletin stating that this is normal. This bulletin is dated July 2008; however the vehicle has been in the service department several times since for this issue. Additional issue is the back up warning feature; the vehicle has sensors that notify the driver when the vehicle is too close to an object, the sensors either fail to work altogether or signals the driver when it is too late. Have nearly backed up into people / other vehicles, to date no accidents. But the vehicle size it is difficult to know when an object is behind it; or how close it is.
