ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 70 TO 75, UNDER ACCELERATION, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THEN THE VEHICLE'S RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 500 AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD NO GAS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF I MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS GAS, AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SEEMED TO RUN AT ABOUT THE CORRECT RPM SO I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK, AND ULTIMATELY SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD OXYGEN SENSOR (THE VEHICLE IS SUPERCHARGED) THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT TOO CONFIDENT IN THAT EXPLANATION. GOD WILLING, THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.*AK

CHILD SEAT
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD OR MYSELF SITTING IN THE JUMPER SEATS OF THIS TRUCK. I WAS TOLD BY DOT THAT A 3 PT. SEAT BEAT WAS SAFEST. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CHILDREN SIT IN THE BACK OF VEHICLES, BUT SINCE THERE IS ONLY A LAP BELT, HOW SAFE IS IT FOR A 6 YEAR OLD TO SIT IN THE JUMPER SEAT? DOES CRASH TESTS SHOW THAT THE LAP BELT IS SUFFICIENT FOR ADULTS SITTING IN THE JUMPER SEAT?*AK

CHILD SEAT
CONSUMER STATED THAT IT WAS VERBALLY IMPLIED THAT CAR SEATS WERE APPLICABLE AND USEABLE IN REAR CAB OF VEHICLE. OWNER'S MANUEL BOLDLY STATES DON'T USE CAR SEATS.
