1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2021

First the hood light came on-then the emergency brake light-then the air bag light-now my headlights wont go off. It was diagnosed as a faulty tipm. I'm concerned the air bags might be deployed creating a major safety issue I've heard there are numerous complaints on tipm's and that there may be a recall. Is that true?.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2019

After filling up with gas car stumbles and dies at stops for about five minutes minutes afterwards. This procedure goes on for about ten miles all I read says it is a safety valve on top off gas tank. Only way to fix is relace the whole gas tank. This happens when vehicle is in motion or just setting idleling. Rpm starts to decreace and smothers plum out. I purchased this vehicle used it has done this ever since ive owned it.
