Complaint Summary
WHEELS
Owner Narrative
SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 10/28/2013 THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN OFF. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED AS DOG TRACKING THEN TIRE WEAR ON THE BACK AND THEN TIRE WEAR ON THE FRONT. NOW AFTER HAVING IT ALIGNED 3-4 TIMES I HAVE BADLY WORN OUT TIRES THAT ARE A DANGER AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE LAST ALIGNMENT WAS AT THE FREIGHTLINER FACTORY SERVICE CENTER IN GAFFNEY, SOUTH CAROLINA AND CURRENTLY THE ALIGNMENT SHOP IS CLAIMING THEY DID THE CASTER BACKWARDS AND TOE IN WAS WAY OFF. ALSO THE BELL CRANK WAS READY TO FALL OFF. TIRES ARE 200,000 MILE TIRES AND ARE WORN OUT AFTER 40,000 MILES.
