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.

WHILE TRAVELING ON STATE ROUTE 422 IN OHIO AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AUTO PARK FEATURE ON MY 1996 WINNABAGO (CHEVY P30 CHASSIS) ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE UNIT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THE BRAKE RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GET A SERVICE AGENCY TO CHECKOUT THE PROBLEM. NOTHING TURNED UP IN THE CHECKOUT. I DID NOTICE ON YOUR SITE THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V183000 THAT COVERS MY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS UNIT USED BUT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE. SHOULD I EXPECT ONE? *JB

WHILE DRIVING MY NEWLY ACQUIRED 1996 WINNEBAGO VECTRA (ON A CHEVROLET P-30 CHASSIS). DURING AN ATTEMPTED U-TURN, I MISSED TURN AND HAD TO BACK UP. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER. HOWEVER, THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "AUTOPARK" SYSTEM. *AK

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.
