OWNER BELIEVES THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS ADDITIONAL FENDERS OR HAVE A REDESIGNED FRONT SKID PLATE INSTALLED UNDER THE BUMPER TO STOP WATER FROM SPRAYING THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING THROUGH FOUR INCHES OF WATER AT 30 MPH CAUSING NO VISIBILITY FOR SEVERAL SECONDS.
#536193
|
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.
