IllustrationSUSPENSION IS DEFECTIVE. WHENEVER VEHICLE HITS A BUMP VEHICLE WILL REBOUND TWICE. SHOCKS WILL BOUNCE OFF OF BUMP, INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS UNDER SERIOUS WHEATHER CONDITIONS, AND CAN CAUSE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *AK

MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR IS HARD TO FOCUS AND I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I AM IN DANGER BY DRIVING A TRUCK WITHOUT THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, SO FAR I WAS GOING TO HAVE TWO ACCIDENTS. I ALSO ASKED SOME PEOPLE TO DRIVE MY NEW TRUCK TO SEE THE MIRROR, INCASE I WAS WRONG, THEY DID AND FOUND OUT THAT THE MIRROR IS DEFECTIVE. ABOUT TEN PEOPLE TESTED THE MIRROR AND SAID THE SAME THING. THAT SHOULD SHOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST ME. PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM EITHER BY HAVING GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS LOOK AT THE MIRROR OR IN SOME OTHER WAY. *AK
