Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I OWNED A 1999 COACHMAN FUTURA LITE TRAVEL TRAILER RM 2652 SERIAL NUMBER 82202673. WE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE REFRIGERATOR FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I DID NOT HER ABOUT THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR RECALL. THE TRAVEL TRAILER BURNED TO THE GROUND. A SLEEPING MOTHER AND A 3 YER OLD ESCAPED, THE PETS - A MOTHER DOG AND PUPPY UNABLE TO BE RESCUED DIED TRAPPED IN THE FIRE. I TALKED TO THE DOMETIC HOTLINE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND ME A PACKAGE TO MAKE A CLAIM BUT NO PACKAGE ARRIVED AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE COMMUNICATING WITH ANY ONE FROM DOMETIC. I HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF MY TRAVEL TRAILER- THE SIDE WHERE THE TRAVEL TRAILER REFRIGERATOR WAS IS BURNED ORANGE. THE FIRE WAS SUDDEN AND INTENSE BURNING UP THE ENTIRE TRAVEL TRAILER IN A VERY SHORT TIME. I WANT DOMETIC TO BEGIN TO TALK TO ME AND SETTLE WITH ME FOR THE LOSS. I HAVE NEVER EVER RECEIVED ANYTHING AS A WARNING FROM DOMETIC, RECALL NOTICE, OR RESPONSE TO ME CALLING ABOUT THE FIRE. I NEED GOVERNMENT AGENCY HELP. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR DOMETIC LEGAL REP I NEED TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS? HOW CAN I GET AN ENGINEER TO VERIFY THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE REFRIGERATOR. THE COUNTY IT BURNED DOWN IN DOES NOT HAVE A FIRE MARSHALL. THE DEPUTY ON THE SCENE OF THE FIRE VERBALLY SAID THE FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED IN THE REFRIGERATOR BUT I DO NOT HAVE HIS REPORT AND HE ALSO SAID THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO GET AN ENGINEER TO DO A REPORT. WILL DOMETIC SETTLE THIS CLAIM OR DO I HAVE TO GET MY OWN ATTORNEY TO FORCE DOMETIC TO RESPOND TO THIS CLAIM? I HAVE DULY REPORTED IT TO THEM ON THEIR HOTLINE NUMBER. THE FIRE HAPPENED IN EARLY DECEMBER 2006 AND NOW THIS IS MARCH 2007. JB

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.
