SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS INFORMED BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ABS CONTROLLER FAILURES. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE($800+)PART TO REPLACE AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A HIGH VOLUME OF FAILURES. THE ABS SYSTEM DETECTED THE FAILURE BEFORE I STARTED TO DRIVE. THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE PERMITS THE CONTROLLER TO CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN WITH THE KEY TURNED OFF. IT ONLY STOPS WHEN POWER IS REMOVED BY CRAWLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IF LEFT RUNNING THE MODULE GETS HOT TO THE TOUCH AND EVENTUALY RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY HUSBAND CRAIG WAS IN COLLIDED HEAD ON INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DOING ABOUT 35 TO 40MPH. HE HIT THE FRONT HARD ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND SHOVE THE ENGINE BACK SEVERAL INCHES. THE FRAME IS ALSO BENT. WE BELIEVE THE TRUCK WILL BE QUALIFIED AS TOTALLED. DISPITE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CRAIG HAD HIS SEAT BELT ON SO WAS ONLY BRUISED AND SORE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. WE ARE CONSERNED WITH THE AIRBAG FAILURE. WHAT IF THERE HAD BEEN A PASSENGER OR CERCUMSTANCES WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THEM? *AK
