Fuel gauge stopped working and the front end sounds like its loose. I have a five year old and can;t even tell when I'm low on gas and I'm not sure what's going on with the front end.

For the past few months when I turn on my truck the airbag light turns on and stays on for a few hours stating that it needs service. It happens every few weeks and it can be very dangerous.

Both of my windows which slide down with the push of a button do not work! They have both busted. One is stuck down. The other I have to shove up because while driving from the vibrations it falls. Very unsafe.
