Looking for experiences. I've had my truck since January. I've had numerous issues with it and some that are on going.
1) Driver door had an air leak. Took 3 visits to address. When it was there the service adviser noticed the exterior molding was also cracked on the pillar of the door which needed replacement. Fixed
2) There's an engine noise that sounds very similar to a pulley bearing that has started ever since 1,000 miles. It has gotten more noticeable to the point where the wife is even asking me what it is and why it's making that noise. This issue is on-going and after my case manager sent me to 2 different dealerships they are now wanting me to go to a 3rd. It has been verified as not normal by both a service manager and a technician when compared to other vehicles on the lot. NOT fixed.
3) Outside temp control was extremely inaccurate. It would read 70F when it was 25F which also had a direct effect on the heated seats and auto climate control operation for remote starts. Fixed.
4) I could not fill my gas tank when first purchased. Apparently the gas hose was twisted at the factory. Fixed.
5) The gauge cluster clear cover was scratched from the factory. Fixed.
6) The 8.4A radio is very slow to respond to inputs, particularly steering volume control as well as the mute button. I have video of audio cutting in and out on USB and radio as well as it locking up entirely so none of the screen works at all. NOT fixed.
7) Remote start fails intermittently. Every few weeks I will remote start the vehicle. It will have the message "remote start in progress" and after about 3 minutes of not starting it says "remote start canceled, please start manually". NOT fixed.
8) The rear window slides open normal about half way and then slows way down and at times has completely stopped opening. Scheduled appointment at the 3rd dealership next week. NOT fixed.
9) The brakes "lock up" specifically when I am changing from drive to reverse. This is especially noticed in my driveway and magnified when backing my boat. I have a gravel driveway and after reversing then braking and then shifting to drive the brakes grab and hold and when they release my tires will spin briefly. This will also be looked at next week. NOT fixed.
10) Lastly, driving home from 2 hours away last evening I got the common and dreaded P0299 code on the EcoD for service electronic throttle control. Many different sources of info for this code but so far it seems there isn't a known fix. I'll have to make an appointment today for this one. Luckily I was still able to drive at speed however my turbo disengaged due to this code and the truck drives like an under powered moped. Obviously NOT fixed.
11) Passenger seat belt would randomly un-latch right after purchasing the truck. Fixed.
12) Timing chain cover seal leaking at 5k. R&R was 3 days. Major repair on this engine. Common issue as well. So far I believe it's fixed.
Thoughts??? After pushing the case manager they did provide a bumper to bumper warranty for 100k with a $100 deductible. However since then even more issues have come up and continue to not get fixed.
I do have a lawyer at my disposal however I am looking for any kind of similar experiences.
Thanks for reading.
