Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought this new and in early 2007 the vehicle started acting as if it wasn't getting gas around 40-45 mph. i was thinking maybe a transmission problem or fuel filter was clogged. a couple of weeks later, i took it to a friend (a retired mechanic). he changed the fuel filter, transmission filter and fuel also. started up my truck, went inside his home to wash his hands and upon returning outside, the engine oil was pouring from underneath. my truck somehow threw a rod at 82,000 miles and warranty just expired. *jb
