Right side of the dashboard was removed to repair the air conditioning. Dealership denied the problem, and agreed to repair it for 50% of the cost. Dealership caused the defect. The dashboard started cracking around in March/April 2004. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they indicated that the cracking was not there fault. The crack initially started on the passenger side near the screws by the windshield now there are several cracks on both sides of the dash.

The vehicle was not equipped with and undercarriage shield. The consumer felt the absence of the shield caused corrosion of many components under the hood. The front shock washer which held the shock assembly in place corroded, the fuel rail corroded and the manifold corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that there was no such part for the truck and if he installed one the trucks warranty would be void.
