Consumer Description

RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THEY ARE LOCATED TOO FAR UNDER THE VEHICLE, MAKING THEM VERY AWKWARD AND DANGEROUS TO USE, FORCING THE OCCUPANT TO TWIST THEIR ANKLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE, THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE INTERIOR, FORCING THE OCCUPANT TO GUESS WHERE THEY ARE, WHICH MAKES THEM USELESS AND DANGEROUS. BECAUSE THE STEPS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, SMALL CHILDREN CAN EASILY MISS THE STEP AND FALL FROM THE VEHICLE. *AK
