| Description of the problem | There is a recall on the left tie rod on my truck. The letter states that the tie rod can break and cause an a loss of control or crash without warning. I called my dealership, classic motors in richfield ut 435- 896-4441 and they put me on a waiting list that is one and one half years long! I have a truck that may crash at any moment without warning and my dealer can not get parts for 18 months. They can only get one part a week and they over 75 trucks in front of me. This seems completely unacceptable to me. They are creating a huge liability problem for themselves. Please help me remedy this issue quicker. |
