Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After less than 200 miles of total travel, we are informed that the wheel bearings and backing plates need to be replaced to the tune of nearly $1,000. My brakes are getting grease on them. This is an obvious safety hazard. Searching on the internet - the web is full of people with the same issues. The manufacturer, so far, is avoiding responsibility with a list of bs excuses about owners doing their own maintenance etc. Brakes, bearings, axles, backing plates, should not be an issue on a nearly new trailer with low miles and just now getting it's first maintenance. …”
