My daughter and I took the 2 seats out from the 3rd row seating and I was in my vehicle where the seats had been and my daughter didn't know that I was going to get out of the car and she closed the big rear hatch door and my finger was caught in the door. I started screaming and luckily she was there to open the door back up because from the inside of the vehicle you can not open the window part or the door. That to me seems very dangerous and I do not like that.

RUSTED REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED SUDDENLY CAUSING A LOSE OF BRAKES, AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES THE FRONTS STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ABS MODULE LOCKED THE REAR BRAKES OUT, MAKING THE TRUCK ONLY HAVE FRONT BRAKES. EVERY STEEL LINE ON THE TRUCK WAS SO RUSTED THAT YOU COULD GRAB THEM AND SNAP THEM BY HAND, I HAD TO REPLACE EVERY LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE, FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE FRONT WHEELS, BOTH LINES FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE REAR RUBBER LINES, AS WELL AS BOTH STEEL LINES ON THE REAR AXLE. THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM, I'VE REPLACED 100S OF THESE LINE SETS OVER THE YEARS. YOU CANT REPLACE THE BLOWN LINE, IF YOU TRY TO REPLACE THE BAD LINE (OR THE BAD SECTION) IT BUILDS MORE PRESSURE THEN BLOWS OUT ANOTHER SPOT OR ANOTHER LINE. IF YOU REPLACE ALL THE TEARS IT'LL BLOW A FRONT LINE OUT. WHEN ONE LINE IS BAD YOU MUST REPLACE THEM ALL, THIS WAS ON MY WIFE'S TRUCK, BUT I'VE HAD TO TELL 100S OF CUSTOMERS THE SAME THING. ON THE SAME YEARS OF VEHICLES (99-06) GM VEHICLES I WARN PEOPLE WHO ASK ABOUT BUYING THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKE LINES, FRAMS, AND TO INSPECT THE BODY AND BODY MOUNTS CLOSELY.

Monroe Truck Equipment (Monroe) is recalling certain model year 2006, 2008 and 2009 Chevrolet C7500 vehicles, 2005-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles, and 2009 Ford F-350, and F-450 vehicles, equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers or DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound.
