I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRACK IN DOOR OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE NEW BODY STYLE CHANGED IN 1997 AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE SHEET METAL IN THE DOORS AND IT HAS ME CONCERNED SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A SIDE IMPACT. WE ALL KNOW HOW A TIRE CAN KILL SOMEONE SO LETS NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT BEFORE WE REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU , WILLIAM E. CARLISLE. *AK

THIS HAS OCCURED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS.ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED. DALE F. ZIEGELHOFER.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
FUEL STARTED FLOWING OUT OF MY FRONT FUEL TANK FILL CAP WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A BAD FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVES TO GO BAD WHICH ALLOWED THE PUMPS TO PUMP THE GAS INTO THE OTHER TANK AND OUT THE FILL CAP. I WENT TO FOR TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WASNT ANY. I SAW A RECALL ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE SAME YEAR AS MY TRUCK. .*AK
