Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

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.

report

From owner reports, verbatim

THE STABILIZER JACK IS ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN AND CONTROLLED BY A SWITCH IN THE CARGO COMPARTMENT. THIS CIRCUIT IS NOT FUSED. WE HAD LOAD SHIFT WHILE IN MOTION WHICH JAMMED THE SWITCH INTO THE RETRACT POSITION. THE MOTOR OVERHEATED AND FAILED. THE SWITCH COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN JAMMED IN THE EXTEND POSITION, WHICH WOULD HAVE LOWERED THE JACK TO THE ROADWAY WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AND CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. I REPORTED THIS TWICE TO EVERGREEN BUT THEY DO NOT THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DESERVES THEIR ATTENTION. THE ENTIRE PROBLEM COULD BE ELIMINATED BY INSTALLING A $3 PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE EXTEND/RETRACT SWITCH.

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.
