I PURCHASED THE 2014 HAULMARK 20' ENCLOSED TRAILER FROM A COMPANY CALLED THE TRAILER FACTORY OUTLET IN BEAUMONT CA. HAULMARK IS MADE BY UTC-CARGO GROUP LOCATED IN OGDEN UT. WITH APPROXIMATELY 1100 MILES PUT ON THE TRAILER, ABOUT TWO-MONTHS, I'D NOTICED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF UNEVEN TIRE TREAD WEAR. UPON HAVING THE TRAILER INSPECTED BY THE TRAILER FACTORY OUTLET; IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE AXLE MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT, CAUSING THE TRAILER'S AXLES TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE ACTUAL COMPANY UTC-CARGO GROUP, GOT INVOLVED AND TOOK POSSESSION OF SAID TRAILER TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO THEIR UTAH MANUFACTURING PLANT FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. THEY CONFIRMED THE TRAILER'S AXLE "HANGERS" WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY CUT OFF AND RE-WELDED THE HANGERS. DELIVERED THE TRAILER BACK TO ME. I DID A SIMPLE ALIGNMENT INSPECT TO FIND THE AXLES ARE STILL OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THAT ONE TRAILER'S TIRE IS ACTUALLY TWEAKED OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE FACTORY LACKS COMPLETE QUALITY CONTROL. THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OTHERS BY POSSIBLE TIRE BLOW-OUTS AND TRAILER SWAY--CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE MOVEMENT.OF THE TRAILER AND TOW VEHICLE. *TR
