Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

Crash reported

PURCHASED BRAND NEW BOAT AND TRAILER FROM NITRO/TRACKER MARINE DEALER 7/31/05. 4 WEEKS LATER COUPLER SEPARATED FROM TOW VEHICLE AND SAFETY CABLES CAME OFF NEW TRAILER DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLAMP WASHER THAT HOLDS CABLE TO TRAILER. HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO COMMUNICATE THIS CONCERN TO MANUFACTURER INCLUDING SENDING PICTURES OF FAILED COMPONENT AND RESULTING ACCIDENT. THEY REFER ME TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY CLAIM, DEALER IS DENYING WARRANTY COVERAGE. I FEEL ALL THESE TRAILERS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AND COULD POSSIBLY HURT SOMEONE IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH ON BLACKTOP ROAD, THANKFULLY NOT IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY I WAS HEADED TOWARDS WHEN IT HAPPENED. *NM
