| I own a 2007 kodiak pickup conversion with hydraulic brakes. after a heavy rain, i noticed water coming from the area of the brake actuator rod at the firewall. no failure has ensued, but i was unable to determine if this was a primary brake problem or a problem with the windshield seal. eventually the corrosion or moisture in the passenger foot well will create a safety problem. *tr | |||

| I took delivery of a new c4500 kodiak 169 wheelbase with 0.7 miles at monroe truck equipments flint location. it was dusk. upon entering the highway, i noticed that the headlights were aimed only about 13 feet in front of the cab and that the lighting was very dim. i stopped at the first rest-area to find that the drivers headlight (sealed beam) was not functional. i was forced to complete my journey with the highbeams on. the vehicle was brand new. upon replacing the headlight at my first opportunity, i noticed that the aiming mechanism, springs, were all severely corroded. the vehicle is now headed to the dealer to have the aiming of the lights rectified. it was very dangerous driving this vehicle in the night with this type of manufacturer defect. it should be noted that monroe truck equipment altered the suspension of the vehicle and should have included the headlight inspection/aiming in their pre-delivery checklist. *tr | |||

| I took delivery of a new c4500 kodiak crew cab with 0.7 miles. i first noticed a loud wind-howl coming from the right rear passenger door. i was disappointed that the vehicle had such loud interior noise at highway speed. it wasn't until i encountering heavy freezing rain, that i realized that this moisture was accumulating in the door jamb of the aforementioned door, freezing, and making it impossible to open the door. upon further inspection, the door was assembled at gm incorrectly and the leading edge of the door was 3/8 out of alignment with the body, so much so that it wasn't even touching the door's leading edge weather strip. this allowed all precipitation and wind to enter the door jam freely and interfere with the function of the door. the contralateral door was assembled correctly for comparison. *tr | |||
