JAYCO SHIPPED ON 5/1 AND WAS RECEIVED BY THEM ON 5/3. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME ONE TIME THEY RECEIVED PARTS AND WHEN I CALL AGAIN THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS. I AM TIRED OF GETTING THE RUNAROUND FROM THEM. I AM STILL WAITING FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS NOW 5/13 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE I DROPPED IT OFF TO THEM. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE WITH IT AS IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD.

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.

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.
