A sudden failure from the fracture of the metal holding the part of the k-frame which holds the lower left front suspension member, steering control became suddenly verry sloppy, nearly resulting in a collision with adjoining traffic. I believe this is the second falure of this member on this vehicle. The dealer wanted to sell me parts and labor but was otherwise not interested. It seemed when i was inquiring about parts availability that this may not be an uncommon failure to occurr on this vehicle. *ak

I found out there was a recall on the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank. During long idling my fuel pump makes alot of noise then shuts down. This has been going on for a very long time and the manufacture stated there was no recalls on this vehicle. Its amazing that i have put up with this for this long. I spent many hard earn dollars to try to figure this problem out and still hasn't been fixed because noone could figure what the problem was. Was there a recall on this part and do i have any recourse . Thank you. *ak
