Filed Oct 29, 2024NV

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 3500 hauling a 2025 Nationcraft 8.5x24 TA5 cargo trailer. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, but the cargo trailer's electric brakes failed to activate to slow the cargo trailer immediately, resulting in a longer stopping distance. The contact drove to the residence and parked the cargo trailer. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the cargo trailer electric brakes would activate after 100 miles; however, after driving 280 miles, the cargo trailer electric brakes failed to activate. The cargo trailer was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

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.
