NO EVENT LEADING UP TO FAILURE. THE FUEL GAUGE QUITS READING FULL INSTEAD READS COMPLETELY EMPTY GIVING NO INDICATION OF FUEL LEVEL NOTHING HAS BEEN CURRENTLY DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT INVOLVES REMOVAL OF PICKUP BED TO REPLACE SENSOR IN FUEL PUMP. 5 OTHER VEHICLES IN SAME AREA HAVE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEATED FAILURES OF THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES AND, ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS, NEAR COLLISIONS. DEALER QUICKLY IDENTIFIED THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR AS REPLACEMENT OF THE RF WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES THE ABS SPEED SENSOR. DISTURBINGLY, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON, AND THAT NO RECALL CURRENTLY EXISTS. DEALER FURTHER INDICATED THAT FUTURE FAILURES (EITHER OF THE SAME BEARING ASSEMBLY OR THE OTHER BEARING ASSEMBLY) ARE POSSIBLE.*AK

MY BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL--STOPPING BEFORE ENTERING TRAFFIC, STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS, PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES. AT FIRST IT SEEMED THAT MAYBE IT WAS SLIPPERY AND THE BRAKES WERE PULSING OR SOMETHING.

WHILE FILLING UP FOR GASOLINE THE GAS GAUGE WOULD REGISTER A HALF OF TANK. BUT THE DRIVER FILLED A FULL TANK AT THE GASOLINE PUMP. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TWICE. THE DRIVER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

VEHICLE TENDS TO SLOW DOWN SLOWLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING IT TO HIT PEDESTRIANS. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER FOR CHECK UP.*AK
