WHILE HAULING A LOAD OF TOPSOIL (WITHIN THE SPECIFIED CAPACITY OF THE TRAILER) IN JULY 2006 (I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK UP ACTUAL DAY), MY 2004 BRI-MAR 6' X 10' DECK OVER DUMPING TRAILER WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE EXCELLENT ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT. THE TRAILER BEGAN SWERVING WILDLY AT 40 MPH. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE THE TRAILER SWUNG PAST THE TOWING VEHICLE (FORD F-250) AND SPUN EVERYTHING AROUND 180 DEGREES. THE TRAILER FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE, BUT REMAINED ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. I SUSPECT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF TRAILER AS MY BROTHER WITNESSED A SIMILAR TRAILER INVOLVED IN A SIMILAR ACCIDENT IN AUGUST 2006. I BELIEVE THE TRAILERS CENTER OF GRAVITY IS TOO HIGH WHEN IT IS LOADED WITH MATERIAL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR REQUIRE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB *AK

Reading this record
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
