September 29, 2026Electrical System

the truck is acquired new with a factory installed 110 Inverter and 2 outlets, one inside the passenger compartment, and one in the truck bed. i was investigating issues i have with some devices not working properly when use with the truck supplied 110v power.. i used a residential outlet tester on each outlet and found that the polarity of the outlet inside the passenger compartment had the hot & neutral lines swapped, creating a potentially dangerous situation.. if one were to have something plug into both outlets and touch both items you could get voltage across the body.. also it is possible to get voltage from an item plugged into the incorrect outlet to the vehicle frame ( ground). als

September 15, 2026Air Bags

A warning light came on my dash. When I took it to the dealership they told me my airbag module would need to be replaced based on their diagnostic. They told me my airbags are possibly not working at this time. I feel this is a huge safety issue. Since I am unable to afford the $2919.90 to have it replaced I am driving a unsafe vehicle.

We are having trouble with the passenger door being inoperative. It will not unlock with the fob or manually, trapping the occupant in the passengers seat. Using AI we determined this is not an isolated problem. A person of my age cannot get out of the car which could present a very serious problem for the occupant.
