I LOCKED THE DOOR TO THE TRAILER TO SECURE THE OCCUPANT INSIDE WHILE I WENT OUT FOR A WHILE. THE OCCUPANT WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAILER. SHE HAD SOMEONE OUTSIDE TO TRY AND OPEN THE DOOR AFTER SHE THREW THE INSIDE CONTROLS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH OUT ANY SUCCESS. THE OCCUPANT WAS LOCKED IN THE TRAILER FOR SEVERAL HOURS - UNTIL I RETURNED AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. I HAVE A JAYCO OCTANE TRAVEL TRAILER - 2009- THE DOOR LOCK IS DEFECTIVE. THE LOCK IS MADE BY BAUER. *TR

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.
