Steering components broke when turning the truck around, this happened 30 miles up a Forest service rd. while out sightseeing. Had to be towed a long way ($1200) for the towing. and the steering repair for $1150.00, if this would have happened at speed when we were towing our camper it would have been terrible. This truck has no off-road usage other than for snow. Head light low beam on the drivers side stopped working, traced the wire back to the TIPM and there is no power coming out for this wire.

After having almost my entire front end redone which would be the second time since July I continued to hearing a consistent popping when turning or when going over uneven surface, wandering and jolting all over the hwy and nobody could seem to figure out why. Well I was driving down the hwy today going about 65 my truck started to vibrate I could feel the popping under my foot and something detached itself and came up n hit my windshield. The wandering and jolting are now almost impossible to drive the truck I believe this has caused me many more other problems and has costed me excessive amounts of money. It should be fixed along with the many other issues it may have caused

Check engine light has gone on intermittently. Have had it checked with no reason for the code. No sign that it was the engine harness.
