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.

MY BRAKES STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TRYING TO PERFORM QUICK STOPS. I ADJUSTED THEM, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. SOMETIMES ONLY ONE OF 4 APPEARED TO WORK CAUSING THAT ONE TO LOCK UP WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE TRAILER. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THE WIRES GOING INTO THE ELECTRIC BRAKE MAGNET COIL LOST CONNECTION WHEN MOVING THEM. I DISASSEMBLED THE MAGNETS AND FOUND QUICK CONNECTORS INSIDE THE COIL. THESE ARE DEXTER AXLES AND ARE VERY COMMON ON MOST RV TRAILERS SO THIS IS PROBABLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY HARD PROBLEM TO SEE BECAUSE THE PART IS ENCASED INSIDE THE MAGNET COIL. YOU HAVE TO DESTROY THE MAGNET TO EVEN SEE THE PART. I MADE A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE TO TRY TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS, BUT I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STEP IN AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURER STOP USING THESE QUICK CONNECTORS. NOTE, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CONNECTION WHERE THE COIL WIRES ARE JOINED TO THE TRAILER WIRING. THE PROBLEM IS INSIDE THE MAGNET WHERE THE MANUFACTURER JOINS THEIR WIRES TO THE SMALL COIL WIRES. YOU CAN WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/UPHHT_383-4
