I have had several issues with this vehicle but I found out today I was sold the wrong hitch sway control AND electronic brake control for my tow vehicle. I’ve been driving unsafely for a year now because of the dealer - Portland Airstream Adventures. This company’s records should be audited to ensure the tow vehicles are safe for their trailers.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
