Data refreshed

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.

NOTHING WENT WRONG YET!! BUT THE DIODE AT THE CONVERTER WILL CAUSE A SLOW BURN EFFECT THAT CAN START A FIRE ON THE 120 VOLT LINE WHEN CONVERTING TOO 12 VOLTAGE THE DIODE SHOULD NEVER BE USED LIKE THIS THE DIODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO COVERT FROM 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POWER OR WATTAGE LIKE AT AN IGNITOR THE POWER/WATTAGE AT THE CONVERTER IS TO HIGH YOU MUST ISOLATE THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM FROM THE DC SYSTEM AND RUN SEPARATE THEN USE MULTIPLE DIODES TO MAKE THE POWER/WATTAGE FOR THE SOURCE THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE FIRES IN TRAILERS, SO PLEASE RECALL ALL TRAILERS THAT HAVE THESE 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT CONVERTERS. I'M TELLING YOU THE HEAT FACTOR IS TO HIGH/HOT!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BATTERIES DON'T GET DISCONNECTED WHEN USING THE 120 VOLT HOOK UP AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ON DISCONNECTING EACH SYSTEM IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT A LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT SWITCH ON ONE POLE DOESN'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMMON STILL DRAWS TO THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES AN OVER CURRENT THROUGH THE GROUND AND CAUSES A FIRE. CALL ME AT [XXX] I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!*DT REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*JB

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.
