Consumer Description

THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE!! TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, STEERING PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN LOADED/TOWING. NOW TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING (LOADED OR NOT), BUT WILL OCCASSIONALLY PULL LEFT. DRIVER IS NEVER SURE WHICH DIRECTION TRUCK WILL PULL. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE NUMEROUS "REPAIRS" TO THE STEERING, SUSPENSION, AND BRAKES; INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STEERING GEAR BOX, BALL JOINTS, CALIPERS, SUSPENSION ARMS, ALIGNMENT, TIRE PRESSURE, TIRE ROTATION, TIRE SIZE. DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER HAS STATED THESE TRUCKS HAVE "VERY SENSITIVE SUSPENSIONS" AND THE PULLING IS "NORMAL". THIS IS A 3/4 TON 4-WHEEL DRIVE WORK TRUCK AND IT HAS A "SENSITIVE SUSPENSION"? *AK
