WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON I TURNED ON THE HIGHBEAM LIGHTS. THEY WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS BUT THEN I LOST ALL MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. I TURNED THE HIGHBEAMS OFF AND ALL MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NAMED (ON OCT. 11). THEY CHECKED THE LIGHT SYSTEM (ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE WRITER) BOTH ELECTRONICALLY AND VISUALLY BUT COULD NOT ASCERTAIN WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I WANT TO ADD THAT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE HEADLIGHTS NOT COMING ON WHEN ON TURN THE SWITCH ON THAT CONTROLS THEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE, WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED EITHER. IF I KEEP TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF EVENTUALLY THEY DO ALWAYS COME ON, SO FAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE H IGHBEAMS, THOUGH. ALSO, FOR ABOUT THE LAST 18 MONTHS, WHILE USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY WOULD STOP IN MID-STRIDE. WHEN I WOULD TURN THEM OFF AND THEN TURN THEM ON AGAIN THEY WOULD WORK FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THEY WOULD REPEAT THIS PROBLEM. ON OCT 11 I HAD THE DEALER CHECK THIS ALSO AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHILD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD AS THEY SAID THAT WAS BAD. TO ME THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SAFETY ITEM AND I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

RETAINER CLIP DISCONNECTED FROM SHAFT, RESULTING IN BRAKE FAILURE W/PEDAL HANGING FROM PIVOT. TT
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 60/40 FRONT BENCH SEATS AND EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND 2-DOOR UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL LOCKING RECLINER BUCKET SEATS. THE OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT WEBBING ON THE DRIVER'S AND/OR PASSENGER'S SEAT CAN SEPARATE DURING A FRONTAL IMPACT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THERE WERE SECONDARY CRASH EVENTS OR VEHICLE ROLLOVER, THERE WOULD BE NO BELT RESTRAINT OF THE OCCUPANT AND INCREASED INJURIES COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE RECLINER MECHANISM.
THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT LOOSENS AT THE STEERING SHAFT TO STEERING GEAR COUPLING. WITH THIS LOOSENESS, THE YOKE PINCH BOLT CAN WEAR ON THE SPLINES OF THE SHAFT UNTIL THERE IS NO LONGER AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE SPLINES AND THE BOLT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE BODY TO CHASSIS MOVEMENT ALLOWING THE STEERING SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RETORQUE THE UPPER AND LOWER BOLTS TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPES WERE NOT MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF FUEL BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE AND THE VENT TUBE DURING A TEST. THE LOSS OF FUEL WAS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PERMITTED BY FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IF A VEHICLE CRASH WERE TO OCCUR, IT MAY CAUSE THE JOINT BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPES AND THE VENT TUBE TO CRACK. IF THE VEHICLE OVERTURNED, FUEL LEAKAGE WOULD OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A POST-CRASH FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER PIPE ON THESE VEHICLES.
