STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
APPARENTLY THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VECHICLE WHICH INVOLVES A FAILURE OF THE PATHLOCK SYSTEM. WHEN CAR IS STARTED SECURITY SYSTEM SHUTS THE VEHICLE DOWN BY CUTTING THE GAS SUPPLY OFF. APPARENTLY IT IS PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE KEY HAS TO BE LEFT IN THE IGNITION FOR 15 TO 30 MIN UNTIL THE SECURITY LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE VEHICLE CAN THEN BE STARTED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR MY WIFE AS SHE IS OFTEN LEFT STRANDED FOR 20 TO 30 MIN WITH 5 CHILDREN WAITING TO BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. *AK

TIRES
WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 70 MPH ON I-35; ALL TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED; THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS OR DEBRIS IN THE ROADWAY; WITHOUT WARNING, THE LEFT REAR TIRE CAME APART. THE TREAD CAME OFF OF THE TIRE, WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE WHILE THE WHEEL KEPT TURNING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON YOUR SITE, THIS APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRESTONE/EXPLORER PROBLEMS.*AK

THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR UNDER MODERATE BRAKING. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS INADEQUATE FOR SUCH A HEAVY DUTY 3/4 TON VEHICLE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES, WHEN HAVING TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, WHERE THERE WAS SUFFICIENT DISTANCE BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKES MAKE A GROANING NOISE UNDER HARD BRAKING. ALSO, VEHICLE PULLS WILDLY AND HARD WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKING. *AK
