Consumer Description

BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT STRUTT TOWERS HAD RUSTED AMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH. IF THE VAN HAD NOT OVERHEATED, WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT WE HAD A PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEEDED SOME PARTS REPLACED, BUT NOT THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE PARTS. WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE STRUTT TOWERS DIDN'T GIVE WAY, AND THAT WE, OR NO ONE ESLE WAS HURT, WHEN WE WENT IN FOR THE REPAIRS, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE VECHILE OFF THE LOT.
