Consumer Description

THE WORST PROBLEM WAS THE WHEEL FALLING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION, WITH NO WARNING. THE AXIL, ROTOR, AND BALLJOINT WAS REPLACED. THE HEATING AND COOLING IS ALL MESSED UP. THE FAN WILL ONLY BLOW ON LOW, IT IS NIETHER HOT NOR COLD. THE TAIL LIGHTS AND PANEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. IT'S NOT A FUSE
