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.

From owner reports, verbatim

AT 20MPH ON FREEWAY EXIT WITH ROUGH SURFACE FRONT WHEELS STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE UNTIL ALMOST TOTALLY STOPPED. ON CHECKING IT IS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX. THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITS THIS ALSO AS IT MOVES ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTS TO TURN. WE ALSO NOTE THAT LEFT FRONT WHEEL RUBS DRAGGING ON FULL RIGHT TURN. THE UNIT WAS JUST FRONT END ALIGNED, AND THE TIRES ROTATED. THIS IS AN OSHKOSH CHASSIS, NOW OWNED BY FREIGHTLINER. THE MOTORHOME MANUFACTURER, R & R CUSTOM COACH WORKS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE 1993 MODEL. THERE IS NOT A FREIGHLINER DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY PROBLEM IN THE FRONTEND. THIS IS A 35 FOOT CLASS A MOTORHOME. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 700 MILES AND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. *AK

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.
