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 A SUNNYBROOK SUNSET CREEK #268 34 MONTHS AGO. SEVERAL DAYS AGO, I NOTICED SOME ELECTRIC BRAKE WIRES DANGLING UNDER THE TRAILER. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE PLATE THAT HOLDS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY IN PLACE HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE AXLE. ALL BOLTS WERE EITHER BROKEN OR GONE. I FOUND 4 NUTS IN THE CASING. THE BRAKE PLATE WAS BADLY DAMAGED FROM ROTATING ON THE AXLE SPINDLE. THEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE PLATE ON THE AXLE IN FRONT OF THE BAD AXLE PLATE WAS LOOSE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BECAUSE SOMEONE DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS TO SPECS. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. #1 METAL TO METAL FRICTION CAN START A FIRE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. #2 BRAKES WILL NOT WORK UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. EVEN THOUGH THIS UNIT HAS A 2 YEAR WARRANTY, SUNNYBROOK OR THE COMPANY SUPPLYING THE AXLE OR FRAMEWORK SHOULD REPAIR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE ENTERED AS A RECALL, BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I WILL CHECK WITH MY DEALER TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN GET RESULTS. REMEMBER, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE!!! *TR

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.
