Erie Truck & Trailer Inc

After keeping our truck over 2 months we were given a dump bed that didn't dump.  The corners were cut out of the back of the flat bed due to the mistake they made when they installed posts that were supposed to be removable.  They replaced the cut out corners with pieces of metal that they riveted on. The eyes for the safety chains for the 5th wheel were welded so close to the ball that we couldn't get the goose neck down on, let alone the safety chains hooked up.  The Reese hitch was installed way out past the back bumper so even if the dump bed would have worked, we couldn't have used it.  They misdrilled several times up thru the cab of the truck trying to install the cord for the remote & left the holes open.  The cord on the remote that was installed inside the cab was so short that it fell in the door seal & we couldn't close the door. They installed the fuel cap/line way up under the bed of the truck, instead of on the side of the truck.  We actually had to get on our knees & crawl up under the truck to add fuel. The door for the 5th wheel was installed the wrong way.  They used wood ....mind you...WOOD beams for the subframe.  They welded a cross member into the frame of the truck for the cylinder to work the dump bed.  The quality of the aluminum bed was VERY thin.  The list goes on. This was nothing but a safety hazard.  They kept our deposit & then they expected us to pay the remainder of the money for this. They even took us to the magistrate to try to collect the money & put a lien on our house.  We had to have our truck completely stripped back down to the cab & chassis & had to take it to BULLHEAD in Tennessee to have them install a whole new quality aluminum flat dump bed, replace the fuel line & the LCD lights.  They kept our truck for a total of 3 days.  What a difference. I do have pictures of the mess Erie Truck & Trailer made of my brand new truck.
