The more dangerous timing of it is when the light comes on while i'm driving.this…

Transmission was replaced due to a manufacturing defect, not part of a recall, rear main seal was replaced, rear differential seal was replaced, high mount brake light was replaced due to water leaking in the cab. There is a chemical smell coming from engine thru vents. Front tires wearing on the outside most likely the tie rod defect that the dealer won't acknowledge.

The transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward. The rear differential seal was replaced. I'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road. There is also…
