Consumer Description

THE LEAF SPRIMG ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE REAR BROKE AWAY FROM THE FRAME. BEING THAT I AM RETIRED AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL VEHICLE I DONT PUT TO MANY HEAVY LOADS ON IT. I DO HAVE A TRAVEL TRAILER AND A BOAT . I HAVE NEVER PULLED THEM TOGETHER NOR DO I USE THEM ALL THE TIME FROM OCCASSION I GO CAMPING. I DO FISH A MORETHAN I CAMP BUT THE WAIT OF EITHER IS RELITIVELY THE SAME. I HAD MY FAMILY WITH ME WHEN THE LEAF SPRING BROKE. I HAVE 5 TRUCKS, I HAVE DONE THE SAME THINGS WITH ALL OF THEM AND NEVER HAD A LEAF SPRING BRAK FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HE TOLD ME HE HAS ONLY SEEN THIS ONCE IN HIS 20 YEARS OF WORKING ON TRUCKS. I DO BELIVE THAT THIS IS AN AREA OF CONCERN..
