I OWN A CHATEAU SPORT RV ( FOUR WINDS) THE RUBBER HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL FILLING PORT TO THE GAS TANK SPRUNG A LEAK: IT WAS CAUSE BECAUSE THAT HOSE RUBS AGAINST A SUSPENSION BUSHING. IT IS A FIRE HAZARD ; EACH TIME I GASSED UP THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ACCUMULATING UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALSO A CAUSE OF POLLUTION! *TR
ON AUGUST 13 2005 I WAS TOWING MY 2004 FOUR WINNS 214 FUNSHIP BOAT HOME FROM DELAND FL. WE FELT A STRANGE VIBRATION COMING FROM THE TRAILER,THEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON THE TRAILER BLEW. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CASING. THERE WAS STEEL COMING THROUGH THE TREAD. THE TIRES ARE CARLISLE ST205-75R14 RADIAL TRAIL. IT WAS SATURDAY NIGHT AND NO TIRE STORES WERE OPEN. WE WERE FORCED TO IMPROVISE AND TOW THE BOAT HOME ON THREE WHEELS.(AT THE TIME I DID NOT CARRY A SPARE) I CONTACTED CARLISLE TO COMPLAIN (THE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THEM) AND THEY OFFERED TO SEND ME TWO NEW TIRES. I REQUESTED FOUR, BEING SUSPICIOUS OF ALL OF THEM, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE TIRE THAT FAILED AND THE TIRE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TRAILER. THE TIRES ARRIVED A FEW DAYS LATTER AND I HAD THEM MOUNTED ON THE EXISTING RIMS. ON SEPT 4, 2005 AGAIN WE WERE TOWING OUR BOAT HOME FROM DELAND FL WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON OUR TRAILER BLEW. WE HAD ONE OF THE TIRES THAT CARLISLE REPLACED MOUNTED ON A NEWLY PURCHASED RIM AS A SPARE, WHICH WE REPLACED AND MADE IT HOME. THE FAILURE WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE CASING. WE HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THAT SUIT. *JB
MADE MOTOR HOME TRIP FROM SAN DIEGO TO SANTA BARBARA WHEN I DISCOVERED MELTED RUBBER IN BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, FOUND THE COACH FRAME WAS RUBBING BOTH REAR INSIDE TIRES AND HAD CUT DEEP GROOVES IN BOTH. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND TAKE COACH BACK TO SAN DIEGO. UPON ARRIVAL CALLED MANUFACTURER AND REPORTED MH UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MANUFACTURER HAD THE COACH TRUCKED TO REPAIR FACILITY. THE COACH FRAME WAS CUT AWAY FROM THE TIRES AND NEW TIRES INSTALLED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DUE TO FRAME BEING CUT. SAME TRIP, WHILE IN TRANSIT, THE OVERHEAD STEREO CABINET DOOR WAS PUSHED OPEN BY ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT NOT BEING SECURED AND THE EQUIPMENT FELL IN PASSENGER'S LAP. GLASS FELL OUT OF DOOR AND HIT DASH, CUTTING A HOLE. THE PASSENGER BARELY ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY. *JB

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.
