"DELAMINATION OF FUEL TANK" AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR SHORTLY OVER FOUR MONTHS, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET IN WASHINGTON, DC WHERE I RACKED UP 2 PARKING TICKETS. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TANK IS CORRODING. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE GAS GAUGE WOULD GO OUT PERIODICALLY ALONG WITH THE POWER. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. NOW THAT THE 90 DAY WARRANTY IS OVER, THE GOES OUT COMPLETELY IN 120 DAYS. IT TOOK THE DEALER A MONTH TO DELIVER THE TRUCK TO ME AFTER I PURCHASED IT.
