The manufacture used wire splicers to connect the electric trailer brakes to wiring harness. These connectors are located on the axles and are exposed to water and road salt. The connectors they used were not sealed where the wire enters and caused wiring to corrode and lose contact. This caused trailer brakes to not function consistently or to fail completely as they did for us on trip a few weeks ago. Picture of connector is attached. This style of connector is not for use in places exposed to the elements.

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.
