What owners wrote

Driving with my daughters to the beach when suddenly my steering wheel froze as I was along a winding road. Towed truck to a mechanic who diagnosed that the gear box was broken at that point he repaired the gear box. Approximately 1 week later the same exact thing except that the truck caught fire, again towed the truck back to mechanic who replaced the gear box. I thought I was going to die when I experienced my steering wheel freeze and the fire was extinguished quickly so minimal damage was suffered.

Reported at 87,000 miles, January 2006 Fire

When headlights are on and you step on brakes all rear lights go out. I have now been cited for this twice and warned 3 times. I have had this issue addressed with 2 local mechanics who thought they fixed but yet again this is broken. I am giving all my hard working money in fees for this issue.
