TAKATA RECALL...ELECTRICAL IS ALWAYS MESSING UP. ALWAYS FUEL EMMISIONS SYSTEM LIGHT, WHICH THEN MESSES UP THE RADIO THAT SHUTS OFF AND ON AND GETS WARM, SIGNALS THEN DO NOT CLICK. THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS GIVE ME PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FIXING ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. THIS SUV IS MY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WITH MY FAMILY OF 8. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING. THE TRUCK IS AFFECTED WITH DRIVING IN A STREET, HIGHWAY OR MAKING A TURN.
