Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

NEWLY PURCHASED 2009 ECLIPSE MILAN 25 RKS TRAVEL TRAILER, 30 FOOT LONG THAT HAD BEEN PULLED ONLY 45 MILES HOME FROM DEALERSHIP HAD THE FRAME BOUNCING UP AND DOWN ON THE TIRE CREATING TRAILER SWAY AND ALL FOUR TIRES HAD BEEN HITTING AND RUBBING THE FRAME OF THE TRAILER. MANUFACTURER CLAIMED ONLY A FEW TRAILERS HAD BEEN MADE WRONG, BUT I CAN TELL BY LOOKING A PICTURES ON THE INTERNET OTHER 25RKS ARE ALSO TOO LOW TO THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT HAD TWO MORE IDENTICALLY DANGEROUS TRAILERS. THE MANUFACTURE REPLACED AN UNDERSLUNG AXLE WITH AN OVERSLUNG AXLE, BUT NOW THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLES ARE JAMMED AGAINST THE CENTER HANGER. THEY DID NOT LUBE THE NEW LUBE FITTINGS NOR DID THEY USE A TORQUE TO TIGHTEN THE WHEELS. I VIDEO TAPED THE ENTIRE PROCESS. I NOTIFIED ECLIPSE REPS AND THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE TRAILER FRAME THAT THEY SHOULD NOTIFY NHTSA, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY PLAN ON IT. THE WORKERS THAT CHANGED THE AXLE SAID THEY HAD BEEN DRIVING ALL AROUND CHANGING OUT AXLES FOR PEOPLE THAT HAD BOUGHT THEM. AGAIN, THIS IS AN ECLIPSE MILAN 2009 25 RKS. *TR

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.
