What owners wrote
While towing a small trailer the front end of the vehicle started floating and became impossible to control. As a result the truck went out of control and flipped over causing over 10,000.00 in damages to the pickup. It was a bout a month or two after this that we received the recall on the front ball joint. Even though it was supposedly fixed??? It still continues to have problems. I have contacted the insurance company and they had never heard of the recall.
Took it to the dealer to inspect the frame and they told me it was unsafe to drive. Recommended me not to drive it. As the frame was rust and had multiple rust perforations in the front half of the frame
