ALL INJURED WITH ONE FATALITY. I-10 EASTBOUND 37 MILE MARKER GRANT COUNTY NEW MEXICO.( DOT NUMBER: VD60AW3527 TIRE SIZE: 31X10.50R1 )

THE WELDED BODY PANELS MAKING UP THE TAILGATE ARE STRESS CRACKED. THE EXTERIOR MOUNTED SPARE TIRE CATCH IS MOUNTED ON THE TAILGATE PANELS AND THE OPENING AND CLOSING CAUSES THIS PANEL TO FLEX; HENCE THE CRACK.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 15MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND HEARD A BANG SOUND LIKE A GUN BEING FIRED . THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION OF GLASS SHATTERING COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW, EVERYWHERE. BE ADVISED THAT THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. *AK

THE FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY PERFORMS POORLY, THE HUBS AND SEALS ARE IMPROPERLY GREASED FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING THEM TO MAKE LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE LIKE THE WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF. NLM

BACK ELECTRIC WINDOW IMPLODES THROWING GLASS INTO THE BRONCO. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT IMPLODED WE WERE SITTING IN THE BRONCO (IT WAS NOT RUNNING) THE SENCOND TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE DRIVING. THE SOUND IS SO LOUD WE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD FROM FEAR. NEITHER TIME WE WERE USING THE BACK WINDOW. I AM AFRAID THAT EITHER THE GLASS BLOWING IN WILL HURT SOMEONE OR CAUSE THE DRIVER TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE UNIT IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. I WANT TO FIND OUT IF OTHER BRONCO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU MYRA HOPPER *AK
