Example complaints

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

“Wheels rubbing bottom of camper, rv is to heavy to stop with factory installed brakes. Invalid VIN consumer jayco has replaced our springs, we asked for an axle upgrade but they declined. Its truly an epidemic with these heavy rv units rolling out of production without the right equipment.”

NHTSA complaint #11232128, filed 2019-07, 2,000 miles

“Two of my four leaf springs broke, my other two leaf springs show cracks forming and severe stress. When my leaf springs broke, my trailer brakes also failed to work. I did not realize my leaf springs had broke until I pulled into my campsite and saw my rear wheels in a very weird position. I crawled under and realized what had happened. I have the leaf springs in my possession and have pictures, but I cannot upload them from this computer. *dt*dt*jb both left and right rear leaf springs broke, other two are starting to crack. …”
