THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND HE HEARD THE PROBLEM, THEY PERFORMED MAINTENANCE AS DELINEATED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN COVERING CHANGING THE OIL IN THE REAR END. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE IN THE LAST 6,000 MILES.

#722696 | May 19, 2000 Crash

ON JAN. 17,2000 WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH NORMAN,IT WAS FOGGY, AND WE HIT A SLICK SPOT. I OVER CORRECTED AND THE TRUCK SPUN. WE HIT THE CRUB WITH THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND JUMPED THE CRUB. IT LOOKED TO BE FLAT BUT WHEN WE TRIED TO PULL THE TRUCK OFF THE CRUB AND STRAIGHTEN OUT TO PUT THE SPARE WHEEL ON IT WOULD NOT MOVE OR TURN. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND FIXED IT. WE FILED WITH THE INSURANCE BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD LATER THAT THE AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BENT LIKE IT DID TO BEGIN WITH. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R16 )
