 I stepped out of my 2001 teton i was on the second of three steps when they gave way and i fell to the ground. i looked back at the steps and saw that the cast type metal that kwickee company that made the steps with had broken in half. i called an attorney only to find out you had to have broken something or had to have surgery for them to represent you. i had to pay $235 of over $500 to have them replaced. it is my belief that it is a result of poor workmanship in the choice of metals used to build the steps. i am still in a lot of pain from my fall. *tr
