The trailer has a broken front center axle, cut rubber, the trailer flexes when driving, side door flies open when turning corners, door liner is not sealed, and doors not aligned properly. Wheel flew off while driving on interstate. Problems started February of 2020 and continue to present day. I have take trailer back twice for repair to still have continued problems. June 5th 2021 I was riding home with trailer and tire broke off. I brought this trailer to travel with but have had issue after issue doing so, this trailer is completely unsafe. I cannot travel across the country with a trailer that may flip over, door flapping open, tires braking off etc. these issues could cause a possible accident, or maybe even death.

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.
