| 15 days after puchasing this vehicle it caught on fire while i was driving it. the fire destroyed everything under the hood but the metal engine parts as well as melted part of the dash & carpet on the interior. after prying open the hood & dousing the flames completely, the fire department told me that a fuel line leak had caused the blaze. apparently some fuel leaked from the line near the fuel injector assembly on top of the engine & an electrical short caused the fuel to ignite. thankfully i was alone when this happened because the cab filled w/smoke before i even got pulled over & i have 2 small children that would have been no small task getting them out safely. the damage was estimated @over $2000 because of the cost of the wiring & computer, not to mention the cost of labor to put it back together again. i only had liability on the vehicle, so my only hope of getting this thing fixed w/out losing my tail is if the manufacturer will stand behind its product and fix it. my brother-in-law only recently informed me of the nhtsa web site, or i certainly would have reported this earlier. please help any way you can, my family & i would be most appreciative. thanks. *ak | |||

| The door assembly on the driver-side failed when the lower hinge collapsed into the door. this caused the door to be misaligned, preventing the latch from engaging latch bolt. the fuel gauge reads 1/4 shortly after fueling and will stay their until the tank is almost empty. the radiator core fins disinegrated and/or fell out of the radiator, causing the engine to overheat.*ak | |||
