What owners wrote
While driving in a field the vehicle hit a rock, the 4-wheel drive skid plate crushed, allowing the rock to damage the drivetrain. Vehicle lurched forward and operated erratically, resulting in a collision.
While driving, the seat reclined which left the driver laying completely down. The seat base assembly had broken on the driver's side front seat. The tie rods had to be replaced. The consumer was unable to shift gears, because the shifter bolts had broke loose from the dash mounts, the head gaskets failed and the check engine light never illuminated. The hub/axle seals were replaced.
