“When the truck was purchased the odometer said it had about 28k miles on it for $45k. Well for the last 45 days I have been having issue after issue to the point where it was smoking so bad I could not drive it any longer. So I call the dealer to advise them that too many issues were happening and they said it was nothing they could do for me. Took it to freight liner dealership and they told me that the odometer on the motor was 293,662 not the 28k it was sold under. Now the trucks motor has to be overhauled which is $41k according to freight liner. …”
