Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The truck was bought in canada and shipped to germany aprox. June 2000. Because of much corrosion at the chassis I decided to remove the cheap bitumen protection and to cover the chassis with special paints. Doing this, I discovered, that the iron belts of the fuel tank was completely attacked by corrosion. May be 20 % of iron had changed into feo. In this moment, the belt would not have broken, may be 3 or 5 years later. If my report is not 100 % clear it's because english is not my mother language.”
