NHTSA Complaint #10253708 — 2007 PETERBILT 379

I DRIVE A TRACTOR TRAILER FOR R.L. SMITH TRUCKING 169 ENTERPRISE DR. WENTZVILLE MO. I HAVE BEEN TELLING RICHARD & ERIC SMITH THAT I HAVE BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING IN MY TRUCK. THEY KEEP BLOWING ME OFF SAYING "YOU & YOUR SMELLS". FINALLY I TOOK IT TO KENWORTH OF JOPLIN MO & THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE GASKET ON THE MAIN PART OF THE EXHAUST BEHIND THE TWIN TURBOS. I CALLED RICHARD (1-3-09) & TOLD HIM WHAT THEY FOUND. RICHARD SAID HE IS NOT GETTING IT FIXED UNTIL I FINISH MY RUN & HE WILL LOOK AT IT WHEN I GET IN. KENWORTH OF JOPLIN SAID THEY COULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT NIGHT, BUT I WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I ALSO TOLD RICHARD THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 12-31-08 & HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE ERIC PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER. THEY NEVER DID. IT SEAMS THAT RICHARD SMITH FIXES ALL THE MEN'S TRUCKS, BUT PUTS MINE OFF ALL THE TIME. *TR
