THE MISALIGNMENT OF THE TWO AXLES HAS BECOME VERY NOTICEABLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HUBS OF THE TIRE/RIM IS 2" DIFFERENT BETWEEN LEFT PAIR AND RIGHT PAIR OF WHEELS. THIS TRANSLATES INTO VERY DIFFERENT ANGLE OF ROLLING DIRECTION, NEITHER BEING ALIGNED WITH THE TRAILER FRAME. THE FRONT AXLE STEERS LEFT, THE RIGHT AXLE STEERS RIGHT. THE CAUSE IS THE SPRING MOUNTS ARE WELDED TO DIFFERENT PLACES (DIMENSIONALLY) ON THE FRAME. THE RESULT IS DUMP TRAILER THAT DOES NOT TRAIL PROPERLY, WEARS OUT TIRES IN A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES AND SINCE THE SPRINGS ARE LOADED AND ACTIVATED DIFFERENTLY ON EACH SIDE THE LOAD IS POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE. IT IS BEYOND ME HOW A MANUFACTURER CAN BE ALLOWED TO MANUFACTURE A PRODUCT FOR SALE TO CONSUMERS AND USED ON PUBLIC ROADS WITH THIS DEGREE OF SLOPPY ASSEMBLY. *TR

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.
