*I lost brakes and came close to colliding with another vehicle in Virginia, and Camping World tech found wiring inside axel that goes to brakes was shorting on the axle was acting as a ground. I need this repair made correct and permanent. *The furnace is inoperable, Camping World's diagnosis- ignition board failure. (Suburban Sf-35VHQ 211332028D) I could not get warm in cold climate. *Sliding glass shower door came open in transit and right-side glass pane chipped and handles broke off, one of the three glass panes, after I attached it properly for transportation. Camping World confirmed this malfunction. (Cut hazard)
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.
