This is a safety issue which could lead to a tire failure which may result in personal injury or property damage. *Tr

When I informed crossroads rv that I declined having them move the axles because of this safety issue, they refused to reimburse me a refund for the trailer. They subsequently sent me a letter implying that I and not they are at fault for the instability problem. *Tr
