Filed Sep 3, 2000 · Body · AR

Fractures were found in I-beams, after another identical vehicle manufactured ascending VIN 51166, metal fatigued I-beams failed causing axle to break from frame. This occurred on august 27,2000, vehicle was taken to dealer on 27 august. Manufacture faxed to dealer on 28 august, 2000, a service advisory dated 09-29-99, detailing how to patch damage. Both vehicles were ordered simultaneously and delivered 04-30-99. Since taking delivery have received no notice of potential problem, until the failure of the other unit. Inspection of my unit showed cracks in I-beam in identical locations as the damaged unit. I have made photos of failed/damaged unit as well as my unit in present condition. Also have copy of service advisory from manufacture that was faxed to dealer on 08-28-00. Have discovered that manufacture has since changed the I-beam from and 8 inch to 10 I-beam on later models. I have e-mailed complaint to manufacture on 28 august 00, detailing problem discovered. As of date have received no reply , either e-mail, letter or phone call from manufacture.
