movie from late 80's early 90's about killer jackrabbits?

Question

Do you know what the names were to these movies? 

Also I cant think of the name of the movie about a dog with rabies that kept a women and her child at bay in there car then they tried to get in the house. 

And one other movie or may be it was a show mid to late 80's about a New York Bomb Squad that had high tech bomb robots and big tactical  vehicles  that looked like fire trucks.

Any ideas would be great, these are movies I remember seeing when i was very young and have no clue what they were called.  

thanks

The second film is Cujo.

The bomb film is tougher, as a series of them came out about that time

I don't know about the other movies, but the movie about the dog sounds like Cujo with Danny Pintauro ( johnathan from the 80's show Who's the boss).

KILLER JACKRABBITS~actually giant killer bunnies
Night of the Lepus (1972)
starring Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun, DeForest Kelley, Paul Fix, Melanie Fullerton 
IMDb synopsis:
Cole Hillman's Arizona ranch is plagued with 'mongrel' rabbits, and he wants to employ an ecologically sound control method. As a favor to college benefactor Hillman, college president Elgin Clark calls in zoologist Roy Bennett to help. Bennett immediately begins injecting rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in an effort to develop a method of disrupting rabbit reproduction. One of the test subjects escapes, resulting in a race of bloodthirsty, wolf-sized, man-, horse-, and cow-eating bunnies. Eventually the National Guard is called in for a final showdown with the terrorizing rabbits.

RABID DOG TERRORIZES MOTHER & CHILD! 
Cujo (1983)
starring Dee Wallace(-Stone), Daniel Hugh Kelly, Danny Pintauro, Christopher Stone
IMDb synopsis:
Donna Trenton is a frustrated suburban housewife whose life is a turmoil after her husband learns about her having an affair. Brett Camber is a young boy whose only companion is a Saint-Bernard named "Cujo", who in turn is bitten by a rabid bat. Whilst Vic, Donna's husband is away on business, and thinking over his marital troubles, Donna and her 5-year-old son Tad take her Pinto to Brett Cambers' dad's car shop, the car fails, and Cujo is very, very sick.

BOMB SQUAD?
The third one could be this one, which has to do with high-tech bomb robots though I don't recall if the vehicles look like fire trucks: Runaway (1984) // So, this one has been ruled out.

If you have more details about the bomb squad one, it would help narrow it down. I actually even thought for just a second of "Megaforce" (1982).

EDIT: "S.W.A.T." (1975-76) was a short-lived TV series before they made it into a film. However, their vehicle is dark blue, more like a big van, though it looks black on screen, as did their uniforms. At least that's what "TV Guide" noted in its article long, long, long ago. People thought that they looked more like villains than good guys, and they generally were more violent than crooks, which caused a fuss and likely led to cancellation. 

I found a BBC TV series titled "Danger UXB", but it's set during World War II and premiered in 1979. *SIGH* Sorry, but I'm going to admit defeat because I haven't found a match. I suppose that two out of three is not a bad score.
