SUSPENSION:REAR
[XXX], THIS IS IN CONCERN TO THE E-MAIL I RECEIVED FROM YOU ABOUT THE OVERLOAD SPRINGS ON MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK WAS BOUNCING REAL BAD, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO. THEY SUPPOSEDLY LOOKED IT OVER REAL GOOD AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THE SPRING WAS COCKED ABOUT 20 DEGREES IN THE WHEEL AND THE OVERLOAD SPRING WAS BROKE. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THEY FINALLY CONCEDED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND ORDERED A NEW SPRING ASSEMBLY, BUT TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND SAID THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE. I HAD A NEW SPRING ASSEMBLY INSTALLED A WEEK LATER. TODAY, WHILE INSTALLING NEW SHOCKS, I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE IS NOW BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT, WHERE THE SPRING ASSEMBLY BOLT IS AT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, BUT THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT, UNLESS IT GETS WORSE. I GUESS THEY WANT ME TO WAIT TIL I WRECK THE [XXX] THING. I KNOW OF ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ANYTIME. BY THE WAY, I REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS OKAY FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
