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 contact owns a 2023 Keystone Cougar. The contact stated that while towing the RV at an undisclosed speed, the contact could see the top of the RV, which was normally impossible, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection, the contact became aware that the frame at the hitch had buckled, allowing the front of the RV to tilt downward. No warning lights were illuminated. The RV was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The RV was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 1,000.

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.
