| Description of the problem | August 2006 i purchased a 28-foot travel trailer from my local dealer in helena montana. The travel trailer is manufactured by forest river. In the barely 14 months i have owned the travel trailer, the tires have been replaced once and are again in need of replacement. (less than 5,000 miles.) an axle has also been replaced. I believe this vehicle is unsafe to operate as it was built with defective or under-rated parts. The manufacturer refuses to acknowledge this and only wants to replace the tires yet again. I am concerned that the continued use of this travel trailer poses a significant hazard to the safety of myself and fellow motorists. I would like to request an investigation and suggestion for resolution. |
