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.

I PURCHASED ONE OF THE POST-KATRINA FEMA TRAILERS IN JUN 2010 AT AUCTION. IT IS A 26 FOOT, RV CONFIGURED UNIT. ON MY LAST TRIP, SEP '13, TWO ADJACENT WHEEL STUDS SHEARED OFF ONE WHEEL SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD. THE STUDS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED, ODD DISCOLORATION, YET THE NUTS HAVE NO RUST. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE WHEEL, DRUM AND STUD PIECE W/NUT, IF DESIRED FOR INFORMATION. A THIRD SHEARED OFF WHEN REMOVING THE WHEEL. I CONTACTED THE TRAILER MANUFACTURER TO ASK IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILER WHEELS OR ANY ALERTS/RECALLS. THEY HAVE NO REPORTED PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND DIRECTED ME TO THE AXLE MANUFACTURER. THE DUAL AXLES ARE MANUFACTURED BY DEXTER. I HAVE AN EMAIL IN TO THEM NOW. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT I AVOIDED WHILE PULLING THE TRAILER AT 60-65 MPH WHERE THAT WHEEL COULD HAVE COME OFF. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO REMAINING STUDS ON THAT WHEEL AND ALL STUDS ON THE OTHER THREE WHEELS. *TR
