WHIKE DRIVING AT 65MPH ON INTERSTATE TRANSFER CASE CAME APART AND FRONT DRIVESHAFT FELL OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED,WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, WASHER SQUIRTED, DASH LIGHTS CAME ON.

SHE REQUIRED EXTENSIVE RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, AND IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL. NOOTHERS OBJECTS OR VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. THE DRIVER BEAT THE AIRBAG DOWN AND SAFELY PARKED THE CAR IN THE MEDIAN.

#707545June 14, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST IS THAT IT IS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AT STARTUP EVERYTIME UNTIL THE ENGINE IS GOOD AND WARM. AFTER THE ENGINE IS WARM IT WILL USUALLY STOP. THE HIGHER THE RPM'S GET THE FASTER THE SOUND IS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS WITH THE MANIFOLD. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD IT'S IDLE AFTER GAS IS GIVEN TO THE ENGINE. IT WIL DROP THEN COME BACK UP AND IT WILL SOMETIMES ALMOST DIE. *AK

#706753May 22, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
EACH TIME I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANYWHERE WITHIN ANY VICINITY BEHIND A TRUCK AND ANY SIZE OF DEBRIS IS THROWN UP ON MY WINDSHIELD....IT CAUSES A BREAK. EACH TIME IT HAS BROKEN....THIS SIZE OF ROCK OR DEBRIS HAS BEEN HARDLY VISIBLE TO THE EYE. THE VERY LAST TIME WAS A TINY PIECE OF ASPHALT AND IT LEFT THE BIGGEST BREAK OF ALL. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOME TYPE OF DEFAULT IN THE WINDSHIELD FOR IT TO BREAK SO EASILY. I AM CURIOUS AS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS WITH JEEPS AND NONE HAVE EXPIERENCED THIS TYPE OF DIFFICULTY. *AK
