    When I took my truck to the dealer to be inspected, because my frame had a pinhole,they failed it, they deemed my truck "unsafe" to drive and they would be keeping it for at least 6 weeks. That they would not cover it for recall work if I left their lot, and the manager said the frame costs $5000 and he needed assurance I'd be back, so they held my truck ransom. I had to fight with them to get a truck rental. Now...that I have it back... I'm finding missing bolts, loose lug nuts, my brakes haven't been the same, leaking where my 4wheel drive case is, bulb to fog light hanging down and grease on my seats,carpet,door & console . Replaced the brake pads & calibers, one caliber was so rusted ( I'll be taking pictures). They said the caliber passed inspection because they didn't break any bolts when trying to remove it....guess that's what they're going on?? This has been a nightmare and I'm worried my truck will never be the same. Just talked to them... they want the truck for 4 hours to fix what "I" see wrong. They should've done it right to start with. I live 45 minutes one way... they don't care. I really don't want to deal with this dealership anymore. I'm passed po'd.
