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.

EVERY PLACE THERE WAS SOMETHING WELDED TO THE I BEAM THE I BEAM HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN ALL THE WAY THREW IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE LEAF SPRING HANGERS ARE LEANING SIDEWAYS AND THE I BEAM IS ACTUALLY WRINKLED LOOKING. THE CROSS SUPPORT HAS ALSO BROKEN LOOSE. THE FIFTH WHEEL WAS STATIONARY WHEN THESE CRACKS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 1000 LBS OR SO STORED IN IT. WHEN THE FIFTH WHEEL IS MOVED THE REAR AXLE SHIFTS SIDE TO SIDE AND MAKES LOUD CREAKING SOUNDS.
