What owners wrote

Faulty electrical system is blamed for the following situation. Vehicle's oil light came on and vehicle shut off and would not restart for several hours. 15 days later, the gas light came on and the vehicle shut off. Driver got out after realizing that the engine was on fire. The truck restarted on its own and proceeded across a four lane highway.

July 1998 Fire

No failure just yet. Every so often the air bag, ABS light comes on once that happens the fan stops working, the power windows will not work. Now my headlights will not work at all but my parking lights will. I have tried to get the dealer to fix it under a recall they won't do it. I know it could cause a fire.
