Steering Noise problem

Hit 3 deer in high speed collision. My air bags didn't function. Then research online showed I have tikata airbags. Then I noticed my brakes if wet or have ice on rotors, when braking, I get terrible squeaking noise and front end will shimmy or vibrate. Rear brakes too. And my power steering started making noise, like a rubbing sound a few months after I bought truck, though no fluid loss or stiffness in steering. I know these air bags are dangerous, metal parts have killed a few people. Why wasn't I notified by automaker about what airbags were installed in my truck!? I need fixed. I do a lot of mountain driving. I would like them to work properly. And these strange noises really bug me. I can't be breaking down deep into mountain roads when I work or travel. Much highway traveling too. The cruise control has never worked, since two weeks after buying truck. If coming up to hills when set, then as you drive up & down more hills, it will self excellerate! not slow down on declines. Very scary a couple of times. Very dangerous! engine would jump into passing gear. I have the 5 cylinder 3. 5 motor. Automatic, sle extended cab 4x4. Should I go back to dealer to get fixed?.
