I BOUGHT A EXTANG TRII-FOLD TONNEAU COVER FOR MY 2013 CHEVY TRUCK.THE SECOND TIME I USED IT IN THE FOLDED POSITION I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND IT WAS GONE.ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS A BROKERN HOLD DOWN CLAMP IN MY TRUCK BED.MY ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS WITH EXTANG WAS MET WITH EXTREME HOSTILITY.I HAVE COME TO ACCEPT THE FACT I AM OUT $1000.00 AND EXTANG DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MY LOSS NOR THE FACT THAT THEIR PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE.THE COVER WEIGHS ABOUT 100 LBS. AND COMING OFF A TRUCK GOING70 MPH CAN CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT.MY COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM INDICATE THIS ISN'T THE FIST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.I WANT THIS LOGGED IN CASE THIS COVER DOES CAUSE A ACCIDENT.

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.
