Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident on 1/15/16 in which i was sideswiped by another vehicle. Upon impact, i had no brakes and no steering control. This caused me to rear end another vehicle and hit a tree head on. The airbags never deployed. I was unable to stop the vehicle or control it. I could have been killed or killed someone else. I am very concerned. I have had the truck in the shop on several occasions with electrical issues, yet the dealership could not find anything or it was minor corrections. I have been very concerned with the electronics of this vehicle since i bought the truck in august 2015. The insurance company totaled the truck. |
