Tire failed and ripped out all wiring and propane lines (2) that are running above the tires. None of the fuel lines are protected. The propane was blowing out the lines and could have caught fire or exploded. I cannot believe a manufacutrer would assume the liability or be allowed to run fuel…
While driving at any speed windshield leaked when it rained. This vehicle has a two piece front windshield that came loose from the center partition. This caused the glass to fall down inside of the body of the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to the dealer four times for this problem.*ak
