This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

Front of tank is now supported by an unsafe nylon strap. Brake lines also rusted out and leaked causing loss of brakes in the truck about 5 years ago.
