What owners wrote
Hit 3 deer in high speed collision. My air bags didn't function. Then research online showed I have tikata airbags. Then I noticed my brakes if wet or have ice on rotors, when braking, I get terrible squeaking noise and front end will shimmy or vibrate. Rear brakes too. And my power steering started making noise, like a rubbing sound a few months after I bought truck, though no fluid loss or stiffness in steering. I know these air bags are dangerous, metal parts have killed a few people.
The brake lines and the entire frame is rusted out. There are big wholes in the frame. The garage wouldn't even put it on the lift, because it was so bad. Have replaced breaks and still the truck has break issues
