THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP ADDMITTED TO ME HE WOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR LET ANYONE IN HIS DO SO. AFTER 8 WKS THEY OFFERED TO DO A BUY BACK AT OVER AN $8000. LOSS. I HAVE BEED ADVISED THAT IF I TRADE OR SELL THE TRUCK I HAVE TO DISCLOSE THIS DEFECT OR ELSE I AM LIABLE. I HAVE DONE AN INFORMAL SURVEY AND DICOVERED AT LEAST 20% DO THE SAME THING AND THE REAL NUMBER COULD BE AS HIGH AS A THIRD DO.

TWO WEEKS AGO I AHD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS CAUSING $2400 IN DAMAGES. I AM FRUSTRATED AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. CUSTOMER RELATIONS CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE POWER TRAIN DIVISION ADDMITTED TO MY DEALER THEY DO.
