Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. coolant system leaks have been identified in areas where the coolant could be subjected to elevated temperatures.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Consequently, the fluid could ignite causing an under-hood fire.
Remedy
Dealers will make a series of modifications to several underhood hose components to eliminate the release of engine coolant.
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. as a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. this action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will eliminate water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube.
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. certain underhood hose and tubing components can fail allowing fluid to leak, such as engine coolant, windshield wiper fluid, and automatic transmission fluid.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect these vehicles and replace these components. note that not all components will need to be replaced.
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. as a result of chaffing of a cruise control wire, the steering wheel rotary coupler can overheat and inadvertently deploy the driver's air bag.
Risk and remedy

Deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning can cause a driver to lose vehicle control.
Remedy
Dealers will install a fusible link which will protect the rotary coupler from overheating.
The rear radius arm, which locates the rear axle, can fail at the extruded aluminum chassis eye end.
Risk and remedy
Risk
A broken radius arm can allow movement of the rear axle and vehicle instability.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the rear radius arm assemblies.
The idler pulley, part of the engine front end serpentine belt system, can fail resulting in serpentine belt damage or disengagement.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Disengagement of the pulley on the roadway can cause harm to pedestrians and other vehicles. Also, failure of the belt causes aloss of power steering assist which can increase the potential for an accident.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the idler pulley with a newly designed idler pulley.
A flexible brake hose that connects the hydraulic pump to the anti-lock brake system (ABS) valve block assembly can leak causing loss of brake fluid.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Loss of brake fluid can result in the inoperation of primary brake circuit, including the rear brakes, and loss of ABS operation with a consequent reduction in braking performance and possible increased braking distances. Also, brake fluid leakage in the engine compartment could cause a fire if there IS a source of ignition.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if it IS fitted with the suspect hose and then replace the suspect hose with the latest design.

The air billows failed under normal circumstances, it took the dealer approx. 1 month to repair at a cost of $1,600. within 24 hours of receiving the vehicle back, the engine siezed. the manufacturer was to attempt to repair with a refurbed engine, (estimated repair cost to be approx. $3,000 - $6,000.) it has been over two months, and the dealer has not progressed at all with the repair. the dealer has also refused a loaner vehicle, obviously due to the extended time required to attempt the repair. the dealer has failed to communicate any progress to date. all communications have been made by myself in an effort to inquire about any progress. none to date to report. I am extremely frustrated at the level of service received to date, and am suspicious of the huge and financially severe problematic circumstances leading to this report. one would not believe these problems occuring simultaneously to be normal of a vehicle of this caliber. that IS why people buy this vehicle, for it's dependability and superior performance marketed by the manufacturer. it has not been the case here. *ak
