AXLE IS BENT. KAUFMAN SAID IT WAS DAMAGED BUT WE BOTH HAVE PICTURES THAT DO NOT SHOW ANY DAMAGE. THE TRAILER HAS REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR BUT TIM CARTER WITH KAUFMAN IS SAYING ITS THE DAMAGE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE AXLE FOR THIS TRAILER AND HAVE HAD ISSSUES WITH BENT AXLES.

Across model years
Worst on record: 2013Reading 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.
