ODI #10133933

Incident: June 14, 2005 · Filed: August 23, 2005

DT: IN JUNE 2005 THE OWNER NOTICED THAT VEHICLE WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT SIDE. LAST WEEK THAT THE WHEELS WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELLS ON BOTH SIDES. ALL TIRES WERE RUBBING. THE OWNER DID NOT WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRES, JUST ABOUT THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER TRIED TO SPEAK WITH THE PLACE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WON'T SEE HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THESE PROBLEMS WERE IN HIS HEAD. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH A 2000 POUND JACK, AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED IT TO A DIFFERENT JACK WITH A LIMIT OF 1000 POUNDS. THIS DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE TONGUE JACK IN APRIL. THE OWNER ARGUED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNBALANCED.. THE OWNER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. ANOTHER MANUFACTURER HAD TO BE CHOSEN BECAUSE THERE WERE NO LISTINGS FOR SUNRAY. *AK
