Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) KDP and NHTSA

[jbowman]

I searched through NHTSA's website, http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/, and hardly found a mention of the KDP problem.



Does anyone know if NHTSA has ever investigated the problem. Has anyone complained to them about the KDP issue?

NHTSA's concern is safety, most kdp failures just result in an expensive oil leak. If you do complain tell them the oil caught fire and four died, they love that kind of stuff.



BTW I feel that it was due to complaints from members here that finally forced the throttle cable recall, but that was a true safety issue.

saftey issues

has any one cheched out the compaints about the "death woble"? this is one area that is a possable problem that needs check by the NHTSA people, and the brake pulling also. i understand that they need 15 to 20 complaints before they investagate.

any one that does a lot of towing needs to check for cracks in there towing recievers in the older trucks 94-97. DC had the recall on 01s to 99s? anyway, check it out.

just my pennies worth
