Joyner Truck Sales

Purchased a CMV from Joyner Truck Sales in Forsyth GA in March of 2010. Agreement is lease purchase with term of 3 year payoff. Purchased a 2000 Freightliner Classic. At time of sale there were issues noted with the truck that we knew would have to be repaired but we accepted those as normal repairs. Did make the shop on site repair the blower that would not come on. They only repaired it to the point that 1 speed would work. We were not given the option to have the vehicle taken to another shop to have an inspection performed on the vehicle. We were given a pre designated (very short) test drive route to take while bobtail. This did not allow for testing of weight pull ability. On the way to our business with the truck a service call was required to correct an issue where the fuel gauge read half tanks and no fuel was in tank. We called Joyner and reported the issue and they said there was nothing they would do since we purchased the truck “as is””. (My understanding of reasonable business practice is that vehicle is in working saleable condition upon purchase- as this is what their contract reads.) Once to business location the list started to enlarge. Joyner did not make sure the vehicle was in DOT compliance before it was sold. Driver side steer tire had large chunk of rubber missing from center tread. New steer tires were required before vehicle could depart under DOT compliance. Upon inspection of vehicle before departure mulitple issues were sited. Air Dryer on vehicle was rigged to appear connected but was in fact bypassed and subverted and non functional. Fuel crossovers were corroded. Trash in fuel tanks that caused repeated service calls due to out of fuel issues with fuel in tanks. List of repaired items since time of purchase: Please bear in mind that this truck was driven less than 40k since purchase and required all of these repairs. Air compressor rebuild Air Governor Air lines had to be replaced due to dry rot. Alternator Alternator Belt Fan Belts Steer Tires Drive Tires Fuel Crossovers Fuel tanks had to be dropped to clear trash Fuel Gauge Air Conditioner Speed Sensor 2 injectors replaced 5 Rocker seats replaced due to breakage Air Dash Module Toggle Switches- broken or missing Mirror Heat Switch that caused eletrical short in dash S Cam on rear drive brake sheered resulting in brake fire when S Cam flipped Brakes Exhaust stack and Muffler rotted completely out Sheered fuel filter bolts Oil Filler tube due to rot from rub on internal surface All Dash Bulbs Low Voltage Box Batteries- 2 required replaced replacement. No strapping of batteries led to one exploding in vehicle. Steering Wheel Pyrometer Etc…. We tried to work with Joyner to receive either early trade in or repairs that could be included in on end of payment cycle and were told by Nathan Joyner
