“Air suspension completely fails when the weather reaches below zero. When the air suspension fails there is nothing protecting the driver due to the bumpiness of the ride. Your head will constantly hit the headrest the entire ride. Air suspension can also fail while the truck is in motion.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 48 reports involved a crash and 3 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
