Windshield wiper hoses come undone almost daily making the washer fluid not function. Have had dealer replace once already but then fix doesn't last long. Def system module malfunctions at 52000 miles causing truck to go into limp mode making it unable to go over 5 mph even though it is full of def fluid.
