| Description of the problem | While getting into 2004 dodge ram 1500 the mounting handle inside the cab failed and caused me to fall off the running tube onto the ground striking my head. I am handicapped and require a strong grip to assist me into the cab of the truck. This vehicle was chosen due to its wide doors as my foot has been fused and will not bend. I am not sure why i was not seriously injured. |
