Consumer Description

1. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILS WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THE REAR END LOWERS TO THE GROUND. I HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME WITH THE IGNITION ON WHEN I AM PARKED FOR THE TRUCK TO RAISE UP. IT ALSO LOWERS WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR IT TO RAISE UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS THROUGHOUT EVERY DAY. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. 2. WHEN IT RAINS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS GOES HAYWIRE. THE STARTER ENGAGES WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION AND WHEN THE TRUCK IS ALREADY RUNNING; THE LIGHTS FLICKER OR REMAIN ON; THE BLOWER TURNS ON WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF; THE RADIO WON'T WORK; THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WON'T WORK; WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING STAYS ON AND THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN. *TR
