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 GOT ABOUT TEN MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND BLEW ANOTHER TIRE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAILER, CHANGED THE TIRE WITH SPARE THAT I HAD JUST BOUGHT AND TIED THE SHEET METAL BACK SO THAT IT WOULD NOT RUB.
