 Truck stalls when driving at any speed without warning for no reason. steering has sudden fast jerk to right then we have to over correct to left, hazard lights wouldn't turn off now they are not functional, driver side window has a mind of its own. wiper fluid motor doesn't work, gas gauge doesn't work it just vibrates really fast. there are wires in dash that have burn marks and other components are melted. its amazing that this truck even runs! we have spent 1200 on this pile and still haven't even fixed any of these problems. *jb
