What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2003 Carriage Cameo, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WHILE TRAVELING, THE AIR CUSHION PIN BOX CAME APART LEAVING THE TRAILER LOOSE.*MR THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT THE TWO 1/4 GRADE 5 BOLTS WHICH HELD THE PIN BOX HAD BROKEN AND FALLEN OUT. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE BOLTS WITH LARGER ONES. *JB
THE VEHICLE IS A CAMEO LXI RECREATIONAL TRAVEL TRAILER, WHICH MAY NOT FALL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. I UNDERSTAND, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THAT THE KY LEMON LAW APPLIES TO AUTOMOBILES ONLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THERE WERE SOME APPLICABLE LAW THAT WOULD ALLOW ME RECOURSE WITHOUT HAVING TO FILE SUIT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2003 TRAILER, AND THE PROBLEMS STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED IMMEDIATELY OF THE PROBLEMS, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED IMMEDIATELY ALSO. THE RUN-A-ROUND HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. WE HAVE RECEIVED HELP FROM A DEALER THAT DID NOT SALE US THE TRAILER, BUT DID SOME WARRANTY WORK, SO THERE ARE HONEST PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HONOR THEIR CALLING AND WORKMANSHIP. IF HELP IS AVAILABLE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
