THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THAT COVERS THIS "LIFE SAFETY PROBLEN" # 95-9-6 (MAY 95). IN MY SITUATION I WAS ACCELERATING UP A HILL AND AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD WHEN WE HIT A POT HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE SEVERE SWAYING MOTION, WHICH MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. MYSELF AND MY FAMILY [XXX] NEAR ROLLED THIS VEHICLE DOWN INTO A RAVENE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFOR A RECALL IS ISSUED. I ONLY ASKED THE DEALER TO INSTALL THE KIT THAT THEY HAVE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX WHAT THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN TO BE AN INSUFICIENT LEAF SPRING INSTALLATION AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION AND HELP ME PROTECT MY FAMILY. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
