Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN MONTERO RUNS INTO A FLOOD AREA (ABOUT ONLY 4 INCHES DEEP WATER) WITH SPEED ABOUT 30 MPH, WATER MAY SPREAD OVER THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF THAT THE DRIVE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND SCARING, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGH-SPEED FREEWAY. I BELIEVE IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL FENDERS OR A RE-DESIGNED FRONT SKID PLATE UNDER THE BUMPER TO STOP THE UPWARD WATER.
