Consumer Description

POPPING AND SNAPPING WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS IN ROAD LED TO A MECHANICAL INSPECTION. DISCOVERED THE FRAME RIGHT BEHIND BOTH FRONT WHEELS IS RUSTED/ROTTED SUCH THAT HALF OR MORE OF IT IS LITERALLY GONE. THE POPPING/SNAPPING APPARENTLY IS CAUSED BY THE FRAME KINKING AND MOVING AT THE WEAKENED POINT AND FRONT AND BACK SECTIONS CONTACTING EACH OTHER. I FEAR THAT THE FRONT PART OF THE TRUCK FRAME WITH THE WHEELS, ENGINE, AND SUSPENSION ATTACHED COULD BREAK AND CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY.
