Consumer Description

THERE IS A ENTRY GRAB HANDLE MOUNTED TO THE INTERIOR DOOR POST NEAR THE WINDSHIELD INTENDED AS AN ASSIST HANDLE. MY TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH RUNNING BOARD TO MAKE ENTRY EASIER INTO THE TRUCK CAB. I USED THE ASSIST HANDLE WHILE GETTING INTO THE TRUCK CAB, IT PULLED LOOSE FROM THE PILLAR CAUSING ME TO NEARLY FALL FROM THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN MY BALANCE AND STEP DOWN FROM THE RUNNING BOARDS WITHOUT DOING ANY INJURY. I AM OF AVERAGE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT APPROPRIATE. WHEN I EXAMINED THE HANDLE I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE ONLY MOUNTING INVOLVED WAS PLASTIC WITH A BOLT THROUGH IT SCREWED TO THE DOOR FRAME. THIS IN NO WAY SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS AN APPROPRIATE ASSIST HANDLE TO AID ONE IN THE ENTRY OF THE VEHICLE.
