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.

After pulling my 2016 COACHMEN CHAPARRAL TRL 5WHL for about five hours I arrived at my destination and observed that driver side front tire tread had separated and was ready to blow. A Sailun S637 ST235/80R16, DOT 1YJ276PLY. The tire was purchased approximately 1-year earlier and had less than four thousand miles of use.

THE LEAD SPRING BROKE. NO ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. NOT ROUGH ROAD. SINCE IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT MY AAA INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER IT. WE WERE LUCK TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SOMEWHAT SAFE SPACE. A FEW MINUTES EARLIER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTEROUS ACCIDENT ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN CLIP ROAD. EVEN TOWING SERVICE AND REPAIR MABN SAID THIS IS A RARE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. WE ARE NOW UNCOMFORTABLE NOT TRUSTING THE DURABILITY OF OUR TRAILER WHICH IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. WHILE IN MOTION IT APPEARED AS A FLAT TIRE, BUT INSTEAD ONE OF THE LEAFS COMPLETELY BROKE WITH THE TRAILER NOW SITTING ON THE AXEL AND TIRE

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.
