I was foolish and thought that I would get everything corrected from the
dealership. I really like the truck if it worked. I have owner it 11 months
and have 31K. I tried the
Lemon Law but it stops after 18K.

How long have you had it, and how many miles??? For
all of those problems, the lemon law should apply. If
that happens, you're entitled to a repayment of all
monies/expenses for the vehicle, OR a replacement
vehicle. Check your local lemon laws.
More info please:
