This one simple part effects so much and it is unsafe that this part affects so much. You guys offer it but its close to 1400$. why is it so much? this would be vehicle number 2 within a year of each other having something bad go wrong it makes it unsafe to drive. It effects my fuel mileage, brakes, spedo and tach go crazy, headlights flash, problems with communicating with transmission, and it keads to the front controle module. My cruise stopped working and it worked before. My key fob has issues unlocking and locking takes like 10 button presses to work.

Numerous front end repairs to no avail. Still having steering issues and loud banging when turning. Wipers coming on at random, battery light on in spite of new battery and alternator. We have spent over $4000 in repairs on from end and 2 wiper motors. The wipers still will not work properly.

"takata recall" the four wheel drive actuator tries shifting into 4 wheel drive even when I don't have the truck running. Also the stock stereo system will once in awhile turn on but now it won't and the acc will not work. My truck also tries to shift into 4 wheel drive while turning into my driveway or a parking space

The 4WD acuator engages constantly when the truck is not running. It seems to happen mostly when I unlock the doors and open them.
