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.

WE DROVE 30 MILES TO OUR RV RESORT AND PULLED IN TO OUR CAMPSITE. NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS VERY LOW. BACKED INTO OUR SITE AND GOT SETTLED IN. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE TIRE AGAIN AND NOTICED IT WAS COMPLETELY FLAT ALSO NOTICED THAT THREE OF THE 4 TIRES ARE ALSO FLAT. THESE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 30 MILES ON THEM. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THAT THEY COME TO OUR CAMPSITE AS I HAVE NO WAY OF CHANGING THESE TIRES. WAITING FOR THEM TO SHOW UP ON MONDAY AUG. 11TH. *TR
