| When i started my car, i went to turn the ac on and there was beeping and the emergency brake, abs/stability, and a few other instrument panel lights come on. the overhead interior light comes on as well and the air will not blow out. the only way to get this to stop is to turn the a/c off or either turn it up to the highest level (5). if it is on 5 and i try to turn it down, the beeping starts and the lights come on. sometimes it will just happen randomly even if i don't touch the air. once while i was on the interstate doing 75 mph, it randomly happened and my car stalled and slowed down as if it were cutting off which scared me so badly because if my car had cut off i could have been in a serious accident, or even with it slowing down the way it did. my foot was on the gas driving and the car just started slowing out of nowhere. also, the air bag light has come on and will not go off and the air bag has never been deployed. i love my truck so much, but am considering getting rid of it if i cannot get any assistance with getting it fixed because of my concern for my family's safety as well as other drivers on the road. *tr | |||
