VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE BREAKAWAY MIRRORS BROKE AND WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE. THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR BROKE ABOUT A MONTH AGO ON 8/3/03 AND HAS BEEN ON NATIONAL BACKORDER SINCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR BROKE YESTERDAY ON 9/1/02 AT THE BEGINNING OF A 300 MILE TRIP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS ONE OF OVER 3000 MIRRORS THAT WERE CURRENTLY ON BACKORDER. WHEN I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AFTER THE SECOND MIRROR BROKE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE MIRRORS AND THAT IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 2 WEEKS BEFORE I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT. WHEN I ASKED HIM IF THE NEW MIRRORS WOULD HAVE THE DEFECTS FIXED, HE JUST SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES THAT I HAVE NOW AND SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THE ONES THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE. I ASKED HIM WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE BROKEN MIRRORS UNTIL THEN AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM. I NOW HAVE A THREE MONTH OLD TRUCK THAT I CAN'T USE EITHER OF THE SIDE MIRRORS ON AND HAVE TO DRIVE IT LIKE THIS FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER TWO WEEKS WITH THE CURRENT MIRRORS SWINGING AROUND UNTIL I CAN GET THEM FIXED.*AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
THE DRIVER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY CAME LOOSE AT THE SWIVEL POST. THIS ALLOWED THE MIRROR TO MOVE BACK AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WHEN IN FORWARD MOTION. WHEN STOPPING OR MOVING BACKWARD, THE MIRROR MOVES TO THE FULL FORWARD POSITION. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE (AND HIGHLY DANGEROUS) TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH A MALFUNCTIONING MIRROR. I HAVE HAD TO TEMPORARILY TAPE THE MIRROR IN PLACE TO THE DOOR IN ORDER TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS VIRGINIA SAFETY INSPECTION.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS AT 66174 MILES. SO THE FACTORY REPLACEMENT LASTED ONLY 1335 MILES. THIS TRUCK IS USED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSPORTATION AND DRIVEN PRIMARILY ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS RARELY BEEN USED FOR OTHER THAN VERY LIGHT DUTY USE AND EVEN THEN THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED LIMITS HAVE NEVER BEEN EXCEEDED. THE FIRST INCIDENCE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS REPORTED DUE TO THE INABILITY OF THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AFTER FOUR REPAIR TRIPS AND UNTIL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION ALSO COMPLETELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 1335 MILES.*AK
