My friend bought a used truck on Saturday from a dealer. It was in fair condition, but he noticed (in front of the salesman) a small shaking in the wheel when he got over 45 mph. The salesman said probably needed an alignment. While he was signing the papers for the loan, the salesman backed the truck up to the dealership, fell out of the truck and ran the truck over the curb and into a brick wall. No great dammage. Sunday (the very next day) he and his 15 yr. old son were on the road when the rear drivers side tire lost the tred. (it was a retredded tire and not legal for a pick up) The truck skidded in front of a semi and was crushed on passinger side and totaled. Everyone was okay but my friend now has no vehicle, his trade in gone, his down payment gone, and doesn't know what to do. I told him that either the tire company, the car company, the dealership, someone should be held accountable. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ? and who can I contact ?
