Front Passenger airbag always showing it is "OFF" whether someone is sitting in seat or not. The dealer wouldn't fix this unless I paid a diagnostic fee of $185. Also Radio infotainment system doesn't respond to touch, however it has a mind of its own, blaring radio volume up and changing channels on its own. Very distressing and distracting while driving. Also a $185 diagnostic for looking at this as well. I had purchased an extended warranty and extended maintenance agreement. The dealer told me they won't fix it unless I pay for the diagnostics and they won't have the extended warranty company fix it under my original extention warranty agreement. This all happened before my vehicle had 26000 miles.

FOR A WHILE NOW, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING WHEN I HIT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I'VE SPENT MONEY GETTING BALANCES AND ALIGNMENTS AND TIRES TO TRY AND FIX THE ISSUE, BUT NOTHING WORKS. I'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT, NOBODY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 OR SO IN THE RAIN AND IT DID ITS USUAL SHAKING. I LOST CONTROL, THE TRUCK SPUN OUT AND HIT THE WALL. THE COP CAME AND ASKED IF MY TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING ANY SHAKING. I TOLD HIM YES... I CAME HOME AND MY FAMILY ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN SHAKING AS WELL. I ASKED WHY EVERYONE WAS MENTIONING THE TRUCK SHAKING.
