What owners wrote

The blue headlights are problem for oncoming vehicles and should be outlawed as well as the little lights that are mounted below the headlights that come on when the headlights are on dim,on the suv's they are the worst,the one's that are on the ford pickups and some of the chevy. Pickups are as big as the headlight and are in some cases brighter then the dim headlights and they blind oncoming vehicles and they too should be outlawed.

February 2010

After owning my truck for nearly 2 years I began to notice a musty smell. Last weekend my kids were riding in the back seat and noticed water pooled on the center seatbelt frame. I immediately thought the sliding glass window was partially opened, but it wasn't. Besides it was no where near where the water was pooling. Then we noticed in both corners of the headliner dark water stains.
