I am absolutely ecstatic to see that U-Haul was sued for its unsafe vehicles. Personally, I will never utilize the services of U-Haul again and it is my personal crusade to persuade as many people within my circle of influence to not utilize their services.<br> <br> Five years ago I rented a large U-Haul truck to move my possessions from Michigan to New York. Unfortunately for me, the U-Haul truck had a terrifying inclination to drift to the right. The issue was compounded by a dangerous amount of play in the steering wheel which made it difficult to correct for the inclination of the truck to drift to the right. I drove whiteknuckled at no more than 40 miles per hour through Ohio, the mountains of Pennsylvania, and to New York in less than optimal weather conditions. By the time I reached New York, I was physically and emotionally spent.<br> <br> When I dropped off the vehicle at the U-Haul dealer, I was furious and I informed the dealer that I would never rent another U-Haul "death trap" again. The dealer seemed less concerned about the vehicle and my terrifying experience and more concerned about getting me on my way so that the other customers wouldn't hear me utter the words "death trap" again.<br> <br> If anyone knows how I could serve as a material witness against U-Haul, I would be glad to volunteer my time to take some of the air out of a company which represents the worst of American business practices.
