| Description of the problem | Using the grab bar on the driver's side, plastic cosmetic housing moved and was no longer stable. Upon removal of the plastic housing, we found the plastic support around the screw had split in half, allowing the unit to move when used. Grab bar is heavily used to assist getting into the vehicle. Ordered new grab bar, a dodge ram pickup owner was in jeep parts dept, ordering one for his truck. How many more have been replaced, needs to be stronger to support the weight of a disabled person getting into the car/truck. |
