Consumer Description

BODY FRAME HAS ROT HOLES THROUGHOUT UNDERCARRIAGE. NEW FRAME NEEDED. WHILE DRIVING, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. UPON INVESTIGATING, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT BROKE OFF N WAS LYING ON THE AXEL. AAA WAS CALLED AND IMMEDIATELY TOWED THE TRUCH 1 MILE TO OUR MECHANIC. AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW DRIVESHAFT WAS NEEDED AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC SPOTTED NUMEROUS PITTING RUSTED HOLES THROUGHOUT THE FRAME. DETERMINED THAT SAID TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS.
