| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The vehicle was sold with inadequate rear coil suspension resulting in the vehicle "bottoming out" with rear passengers. the vehicle was represented to be able to tow 5000#. but due to the improper suspension, towing anything is dangerous as a result of the inability of the suspension to accommodate minimal tongue weight. supposed repair did not fix the problem. a cushion was installed rather than increasing the coil strength or otherwise "repairing" the problem. the cushion merely attempts to "mask" the inadequate suspension and does not resolve anything. |
