Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:BODY
Owner Narrative
THE FACTORY INSTALLED RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THE TREADS NEED TO BE LARGER, MORE AGGRESSIVE AND ROTATED 90^. AS THEY ARE THEY ARE SIMPLY SKID PADS WHEN WET OR FROZEN. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO TRY AND ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND SEE HOW EASILY YOUR FOOT SIDES OFF CAUSING THE PERSON THE FALL. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL SLIPS/FALLS. TODAY I HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD ON THE DOOR JAM. JUST ROTATING THE TREAD NINETY DEGREES WOULD HELP.
