| Description of the problem | The tailpipe fell off of my truck. Resulting in the hot exhaust to be vented onto a rear wiring harness and thus melting it. Along with the melted wiring harnesses, the ecm and mass airflow sensor were shorted out and need to be replaced. This will be over $2000 to fix and will be paid for straight out of my pocket. The warranty does not cover exhaust because it supposedly is a regularly maintained part. This truck is a 2wd model with 305/50x20 wheels/tires , so it obviously is not used for off-road purposes nor has it been used to tow anything. When the tailpipe broke, the truck was being driven down a smooth black top highway and nothing was ran over in the road such as an animal or debris that would cause the tailpipe to fall off. I bought this truck used but with only 30k miles on it and only drove it 1500 miles since purchasing it. |
