“MY SPARE TIRE FELL OUT FROM BENEATH MY TRUCK. THE CABLE WAS SPLIT AT THE END. THE SMALL CONNECTOR THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE END OF THE CABLE WHICH ALSO HOLDS A METAL PAD IN PLACE. THE PAD ALLOWS THE SPARE TIRE TO BE RAISED OR LOWERED. ALL PARTS WERE RETRIEVED, THE SPARE TIRE, METAL PAD AND CONNECTOR. THE SPARE TIRE HOIST ASSEMBLY WAS STILL OPERATIONAL, MINUS THE PARTS THAT FELL OUT. *TR”

“ON OCTOBER 4, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM, I DEPARTED FROM THE SACRAMENTO CHILDREN'S HOME THROUGH AN ADJACENT ALLEY TRAVELING THROUGH THE SOUTH BOUND ENTRANCE. AS I MADE THE LEFT TURN INTO THE ALLEY AS I GRADUALLY GOT UP TO SPEED MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I WAS STARTLED BY THE SUDDEN INCREASE OF SPEED AND IMMEDIATE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND APPLY THE BRAKES. BEFORE I COULD MAKE THE CORRECTIONS THE VEHICLE HAD VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ALLEY AND STRUCK AN OAK TREE. TO MY GUESS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 25-30 MPH. ON IMPACT I SLAMMED INTO MY MOTOROLA SPEAKER THAT WAS ATTACHED TO MY SUN VISOR AND SPLIT MY HEAD OPEN WHICH REQUIRED 8 STAPLES TO CLOSE.”

“I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 NAVIGATOR. I BOUGHT IT FROM A PRIVATE OWNER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WHEN GO TO CHANGE GEARS, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WON'T GO INTO GEAR OR IF I PUT IT IN PARK, IT SOMETIMES WON'T GO. THEN I TRIED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKING, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD TO RESORT TO DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STAYING IN GEAR, IT ALSO WOULD NOT WORK. I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION AND OF COURSE IT DID NOT PASS. SO THAT PROMPTED MY ONLINE RESEARCH AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL IN FORMATION FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SIMILAR MODELS AND I SEE THAT SOME RECALLS WERE MADE, BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR. I WAS WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE'S YEAR MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN SOME OF THE OTHER RECALLS BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE IS A 2000 AND THE RECALL WAS FOR A 1998 AND SO ON. THANK YOU. *TR”
