4 Structure problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2003

This vehicle was bought brand new and represented as such. Upon delivery of the vehicle, my husband noticed the bed was 2 crooked on the body. The vehicle was returned to leachman motors who in turn stating it was a factory defect. The attempted to repair the vehicle by bending the frame. This was unacceptable. Gm blames leachman - leachman blames gm and we have returned the vehicle to leachman but continue to make truck payments of $452. So as not to ruin our credit. Now we have no truck and no-one is helping us!! this truck was sold as a brand new vehicle. For $34,000. We should have a perfect truck - not one with a bent frame and crooked bed!.
