Consumer Description

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR MAINTENANCE. WAS CALLED OVER BY MECHANIC. HE SHOWED ME THE WHOLE FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS RUSTED OUT. THE TRUCK HAS 100,000 MILES AND BODY IS CLEAN FOR ITS AGE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP QUOTED $6,000.00 TO REPAIR. A SMALL AUTO COLLISION SHOP QUOTED +$3,000.00. BOTH AGREED THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK THAT COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. SEVERAL OTHER MANUFACTURES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION TO REPAIR OR REIMBURSE FOR THE EXPENSE. IT IS DOCUMENTED OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT IT IS AN ISSUE. THERE ARE 16 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR COMPLAINT SITE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED/SUGGESTED REPORTING THE ISSUE TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA).
