| I own for private use, a 9 year old (2001) sundowner 3 horse gooseneck trailer that the whole steel undercarriage has rusted to the point that the trailer is unsafe to use for hauling large animals. sundowner never notified it's customers of the problem with their trailers. which they apparently have known for some time that their trailers manufactured from 1999 - 2005 had steel used in them that deteriorated quickly. we were fortunate enough to learn via word of mouth, and had our trailer inspected by a dealer before a tragic accident occurred on the road. the estimate to totally replace the steel undercarriage and install a new floor is aprox $7,500. to my understanding they are not recalling or warranting these trailers. i have lost 99% of the value on this trailer. i can not trade it. therefore, i must repair it. these trailers were supposed to be the best in the industry. they were sold on the assumption that they would last. certainly more than their advertised 8 year warranty. sounds like toyota and sundowner used the same steel. *tr | |||
