Consumer Description

STEERING HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY, VIRING EITHER WAY, THE STEERING GREAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. JOHN L. SULLIVAN SOLD US THE TRUCK IN THAT CONDITION. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE PLAY IN THE STEERING, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER ONCE I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK I THEN KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. SO I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO WOODARD CHEVROLET, (THE CLOEST DEALERSHIP) WERE THEY REPAIRED IT ONCE THE PART WERE AVAILABLE.
