Incident: July 1, 2010 · Filed: June 2, 2012

SUMMER TIME NOTICED ALUMINUM CORNER PANELS STARTED TO BUCKLE OR FLARE OUT FROM THE BOTTOMS THOUGHT IT POSSIBLY GOT HIT BYE A TRAILER BUT AS TIME WENT ON THEY FLARED OUT EVEN MORE THEN IN 2011 THEY STARTED PEELING OFF ON ONE SIDE ON EACH CORNER SO WE CONTACTED OUR DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM IN WITCH THEY TOLD US IT WAS RECALLED FOR THAT REASON THEIR WAS NO RIVETS IN THE CORNER PANELS SO THEY WOULD FALL OFF. SO WE CONTACTED SPARTAN SUPREME CORP WHO MADE THE BOX AND WAS TO WARRANTY THE BOX WHO CLAIMED OUR WARRANTY WAS UP. SO WE WENT DOWN BOUGHT PARTS SENT PICTURES AND WAS GOING TO FIX IT OUR SELVES. BUT AT LOOKING AT FIXING IT HAD GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THE CORNERS WAS NO LONGER STRAIGHT THE ENTIRE BOX IS SHIFTED AND IS BOWING OUT ON THE SIDES WITH JARRED SIDE PANEL SORS WHICH ARE RUBBING WHEN U SHUT THEM AND LOOKS UNREPAIRABLE. WE THEN CALLED AGAIN TO SPARTAN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY WHEN WE CALLED THE FIRST TIME (EARLY 2011) AND NOW IT'S OUT OF WARRANT (LATE 2011). SO AT THIS POINT WE HAVE A BOX TRUCK WITH ON MISSING CORNER PANEL WHICH BLEW OFF SOMEWHERE OFF DOWN THE ROAD AND A LEANING BOX WITH WHICH COULD FALL APART AT ANYTIME. *TR
