What owners wrote

Electrical panel under dash board caught on fire. As consumer was driving, lights went out and fire began. Harness wires were burned. Also, fuel tank had a hole at the strap assembly. Dealer replaced tank at consumer's expense. Both incidents may have caused extensive fire damage to vehicle.

December 2000 Fire

Rear gas tank transfers fuel to front tank causing front tank to overfill and causes fuel spillage. This has been an on going problem since 1998. I have to remember to use up front tank first or gas will come out of the charcoal canister. This happened four times until I figured out what was happening and of course truck was out of warranty.

Reported at 38,000 miles, May 1998
