What owners report
WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE SUNROOF OF THE VEHICLE WAS BLOWN OFF BY THE WIND. THE SUNROOF TILTS UP AT THE REAR AND THE DEALER CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW THE ROOF COULD BE LOST. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART, BUT THE CONSUMER'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. *PH
THE REAR BUMPER SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. *NLM
SHORT IN CONNECTION AT THE FUEL TANK. PLASTIC IS MELTED THROUGH, THERE APPEARS TO BE SCORING ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT THAT WOULD BE INDICATIVE OF SPARK AND OR HIGH HEAT. CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE AND OR EXPLOSION. ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAD OCCOURED DURING A TIME FRAME WHEN WARM TEMPERATURES WOULD HAVE MADE FOR HIGH FUEL VAPOR CONTENT (I.E. IT OCCOURED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER AS OPPOSED TO STRANDING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM AS IT DID)
A SHORT OCCURRED AT THE JUNCTION OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE FUEL TANK. THE SHORT MELTED THE PLASTIC CONNECTION AND BURNED THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY TO THE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF IGNITION INSIDE THE GAS TANK. THIS CLEARLY COULD HAVE LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION OF THE GAS TANK.
FIRESTONE, WILDERNESS AT, P23 75R15, CONSUMER HAS REPLACED ALL FIVE TIRES. TIRES TREAD SEPARATED FROM RIM.*AK
