We drove up, all the way from Warrenton, to take possession of a Hino 1626 in November 2017 from Countrywide Truck Sales. While driving back home I noticed a severe shudder when applying the brakes. I drove the truck back to Countrywide and they said it was the ABS kicking in.Needless to say I had to fly home and go back the following week to fetch the truck. All the brake drums had to be skimmed and the load bin was loose as well. Once we had the truck home we then established that it had not been serviced like they had said it had been – the king pin was broken, the bushes on the springs were totally disintegrated, the dash cluster worked incorrectly and it was over heating. The right hand side hand brake was not working. We were unable to speak to the owner of Country Wide and were blocked all the time. We actually do not know how the truck passed roadworthy (done at Jetpark) and feel officials should really investigate the establishment that passed the truck. It was unsafe to be on the road, a danger to me as driver and consequently other drivers. Be very afraid of buying a vehicle from Countrywide Truck Sales.
