Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I left my motorhome parked and secured by locking deadbolt on the coach door. When I returned I could not open the door. Locksmith noted door latch deadbolt is susceptible to failure without notice leaving occupant(s) unable to open the door. The actuator rod for the deadbolt quite easily slips from the mechanism because the backing plate leaves too much room for unintended movement with the simple act of slamming the door too hard likely to cause failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11020912, filed 2017-08, 17,500 miles“In june of 2020 this vehicle caught on fire, originating in the engine compartment according to my driver. The vehicle was a total loss resulting in no bodily harm and my insurance company paid me a settlement and is still investigating last I heard. I also had to replace two wheel speed sensors out of pocket that my local dealer didn't recognize they should have been covered under warranty. My dealer did eventually acknowledge they should have been covered, but refuse to reimburse since they didn't do the work.”
