I would like to talk to you about my truck issue . I bought the truck peterbilt 579 2022 from golden state peterbilt fresno ca on 03/03/2021. When i drove the truck i realized it was pulling to the right. I immediately informed the dealership about this issue. I drove the truck about 200 miles to make sure there was something wrong with the truck, so i left the truck at the dealership on 03/04/21 to fix it. The company has claimed to have repaired the truck three times since then but the truck has not been repaired. The truck still pulls to the right and is not safe to drive on the road .After about 21 days, the company has not been able to fix the truck or find a solution to the problem. This behavior of the company is causing me huge losses in my business.My brother drove another dealership another brand new truck which is pull right side as well but not like my truck . Foreman told me this problems coming in too many trucks. Can you take action against manufacturing company because they are making truck witch's not good for road safety ? Thank you very much
