BRAND NEW 2018 TANDEM AXLE BOAT TRAILER- IT WAS CLUNKING ON STARTS AND STOPS FROM THE DEALER. ONCE HOME I CALLED KARAVAN TECH SUPPORT- HE SAID CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL- I HAD NOT, IT'S A NEW TRAILER... I CHECKED IT- SEE NO FLUID. FILLED IT WITH DOT 3, IT TAKES MORE...AND MORE. THEN I NOTICE THE PUDDLE AT THE REAR WHEEL. THE IDIOTS AT KARAVAN INSTALLED THE BRASS BRAKE 2 INTO 1 FITTING TURNED SO THAT THE BACKING PLATE ON SPRING TRAVEL SHEARED OFF THE HOSE FITTING. I DROVE 90 MILES WITH NO BRAKES!!! THIS TRAILER IS DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS, HAZARDOUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS ATROCIOUS, HORRIBLE WORKMANSHIP AND LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL. NO BRAKES!!!

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.
