THERE IS A PREVIOUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST THIS MFG ON 01/10/2002, ODIID: 757852. I FEEL THAT IF THIS MFG. CAN NOT HONOR A SAFETY OR GENERAL (RELATED) RECALL FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICE AND THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THE VEHICLES FROM THE HIGHWAY AND DISMANTLE THEM FOR THE NON RECALLABLE PARTS. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE BEING OPERATED IN AREAS OF HEAVY FOG CONDITIONS. EMMISSIONS FROM CRANKCASE HEAD GASKETS BLOWING ALONG WITH HEAVY FOG CONDTIONS CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES. MY VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN MOBILE/BALDWIN COUNTIES HEAVY FOG ALONG THE I-10 BAYWAY (MOBILE/BALDWIN CO.) HAS ALREADY HAD SEVERAL TRAFFIC FATALITIES THAT ARE FOG AND EMMISSION CONDITIONS . AS ALABAMA HAS NO EMISSION CONTROLS IN PLACE THE NHTSA SHOULD INSIST ON THIS MFG HONORING THE SAFETY AND GENERAL RECALLS TO PROTECT THE MOTORING PUBLIC. DT
