Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I had parked my truck in my driveway. I put it in park, set the parking brake and turn off the engine. As I stepped out of the truck the truck rolled down the driveway dragging me about 100 ft stiking the power pole at the end of the diveway. The pole was rotted and fell on the truck crushing me between the body and the driver side front door.
Cpsc: recreational vehicles: consumer stated the axle caused damage to the brake line, and emergency cable.
