THE OUTRIGGERS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE SLIDE AND HAVE BENT. LEAF SPRINGS WERE REPLACED IN OCTOBER BECAUSE THEY FLATTENED, WHICH WAS FOUND BECAUSE A BRAKE LINE BROKE (WHILE DRIVING) WHILE OTHERS WERE CORRODED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE FLOOR IS CROWNING (SLOPING DOWNWARD) BECAUSE OF THE BENT OUTRIGGERS.

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.
