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.

THIS IS A TOYHAULER RV AND IN THE GARAGE AREA THERE ARE TWO BUNK BEDS THAT ARE STORED UP NEXT TO THE CEILING. THERE IS A LIGHT RIGHT ABOVE THE TOP BUNK BED. WE HAD STORED OUR WINTER BLANKETS AND SLEEPING BEDS ON THE TOP BUNK WHERE THEY WERE OUT OF THE WAY AND WE DID NOT USE THE TOP BUNK ANYHOW. THE LIGHT GOT LEFT ON ACCIDENTALLY LEFT ON. THE FIXTURE GOT HOT AND SET THE BLANKS AND SLEEPING BAGS ON FIRE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT WAS JUST A SMOLDERING FIRE, AND ONLY SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE CEILING AND LIGHT FIXTURES AND LOST ALL OF THE WINTER BLANKETS AND SLEEPING BAGS. JUST A NOTE THAT IT MAY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THIS LIGHT WERE IT IS POSITIONED AS IT CAN BE LEFT ON BY ACCIDENT. THANKS *TR

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.
