AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT 0N 07/29/2018 I HIT A CAR THAT HAD PULLED OUT OF A SIDE STREET. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 32MPH AT THE TIME OF IMPACT THERE WAS NO TIME TO BRAKE EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL VERY HARD AT THE TIME. THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AND THIS WAS A HARD FRONT END HIT. BUT THE REASON I'M SENDING THIS TO YOU IS BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL 2 WEEKS EARLIER AND WAS THINKING ALL WAS FINE. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT THIS

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING OVER 40 MPH AND HITTING SMALL BUMPS OR POT HOLES, OR SOMETIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT TIRES WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH , SHAKING THE WHOLE VEHICLE, MAKING THE VEHICLE NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. COMMONLY KNOWN AS "THE DEATH SHAKE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKE IS TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. IT'S A TERRIFYING THING TO EXPERIENCE.
