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.

WE BOUGHT A 2009 FOUR WINDS TRAVEL TRAILER IN MAY OF 2009, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES ON THE TRAILER AND EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRAILER. AS I WAS GETTING THE TRAILER READY FOR THIS YEAR, WE NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WEATHER CHECKED, OR THE SIDEWALLS ON ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CRACKED BADLY. I CALLED THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE TRAILER FROM AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WASN'T ALONE, IN FACT HE HAD A BRAND NEW 2009 FOUR WINDS TRAILER THAT HADN'T LEFT THE LOT, AND ALL FOUR OF IT'S TIRES WERE SIDE WALL CRACKED BADLY. I ORDERED FOUR NEW TIRED FROM A TIRE DEALER NEAR OUR HOME, AND THE ATTENDANT TOLD ME HTE HAS ALREADY REPLACED SEVERAL TRAILERS TIRES THAT WERE WEATHER CHECKED ALSO ON BRAND NEW, OR 2009 MODELS. THE TIRE I HAVE ARE: DURO H78-15ST............ST225/75D15. THE COST OF REPLACING THE TIRES WILL BE $485.00. IN A BIGGER AREA I COULD UNDERSTAND A FEW TRAILERS HAVING ISSUES, BUT I LIVE IN A TOWN THAT HAS LESS THEN 1000 PEOPLE LIVING IN IT...EVEN THE GREATER AREA...MARINETTE, PESHTIGO, CRIVITZ, AND INCLUDE MENOMINEE, MI, AND I'M SURE YOU CAN SEE MY CONCERN. I AM VERY SAFETY MINDED, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DISTRAUGHT IF MY TRAILER WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND KILLED SOMEBODY...ESPECIALLY MY GRANDCHILDREN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE NKS TIRE PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE PRETTY SURE THE SAME TIRE COMPANY, DURO, HAD A MAJOR RECALL ON THEIR TIRES MAYBE TWO YEARS BACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND EFFORT CONCERNING THIS MATTER. IF I CAN BE OF ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ON ME. *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.
