| Description of the problem | Rack and pinion steering failed, fortunately on a side street near a dealership and not on major highway, we reported sudden brake line failure in 2015 on same vehicle - still awaiting response. No warning either issue. We are now extremely concerned.. Recalls were done on 2008-2013 but believe a year was missed! Hope no one was killed or injured. Fortunate now this is 10 year old truck but no warning either instance.. This never should have happened. *js |
