Defect SummaryVehicle description: passenger vehicles. these vehicles have jacking instructions which, if followed, could cause the vehicle operator to place the jack on a frame weld when attempting to raise a rear wheel. if the vehicle is jacked up with the jack placed on the frame weld and if the vehicle is free to roll (wheels not blocked or chocked), the jack could yield and the vehicle may drop suddenly.
Consequence SummaryIf this occurs and any portion of the operator's body is under the vehicle, the potential for personal injury exists.
Corrective SummaryOwners will be provided with a revised jack instruction and stowage card and jack warning label, as well as a supplement to the owner guide.

 My complaint is in regards to my employer. i am a police officer and i think the vehicles we are using are being made unsafe by the addition of extra equipment. the dept. has added computers, shotguns that are mounted overhead and causing officers to hit there heads, not to mention what might happen if one is involved in an accident. they have also shut off are air bags, because the computers are side mounted and are not air bag compatable. they have also installed video cameras and radar units that hang from rearview mirrors. these mounts are not secure and often fall off. i have complained to my bosses and union reps. no one cares, in fact i was told the dept. does not taylor make police cars. several officers have already hurt themselves on these extras. i just want a safe vehicle.i do not no who else to turn to. i have also lodged a complaint with osha. please advise. *nm
