Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

2004 MASTERCRAFT TRAILER WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON ST225/75R/15 TRAILER TIRES AT PROPER INFLATION REQUIREMENTS AND TOWING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LEFT SIDE TIRE BLEW AT HIGHWAY SPEED. 1HR LATER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RIGHT SIDE SHOWED SIGNS OF IMPENDING TIRE FAILURE...WHICH WAS CONFIRMED AFTER TIRE REPLACEMENT AT TIRE SHOP. BOTH FAILED TIRES WERE CHINESE MADE GOODYEAR MARATHONS. OLD PARTS: 1ST TIRE FAILURE IS NOT AVAILABLE, 2ND FAILURE TIRE IS AVAILABLE. OVER THE LAST 3-5YRS, I'VE EXPERIENCED TOO MANY TRAILER TIRE FAILURES. IF REGULATIONS DO NOT EXIST FOR TRAILER TIRES, THEY NEED TO. IF THEY DO EXIST, THEY NEED REVISITED AND REINFORCED. TIRE FAILURES SO FREQUENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME. TRAILER TYPE IN DESCRIPTION IS ACCURATE. TRAILER TYPE IN "VEHICLE" SECTION IS NOT. *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.
