I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR MY SON. ON SEPTEMBER 13, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A TURN ON A CITY STREET, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR A PORTION OF OUR VEHICLE EXPENSE, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE NOTE WHICH INCLUDED TAXES, LICENSE, FEES, EXTENDED WARRANTY AND INTEREST.
TRUCK SLID INTO A DITCH. WHILE DRIVING OUT IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, ALL FOUR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN DANGER OF ROLLING OVER.

AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, I FINISHED GETTING OUT OF THE DITCH AND RETURNED HOME WHILE DEALING WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY (1-1/2 MILES).
DURING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP, MY ELECTRIC GLITCH, FROM THE DASHBOARD TO THE NAVIGATION AS IF WERE GOING TO SHUT DOWN! NOW I'M IN A PARKING LOT AND THE DASH IS TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE AIRBAG.
