NOTHING WENT WRONG YET!! BUT THE DIODE AT THE CONVERTER WILL CAUSE A SLOW BURN EFFECT THAT CAN START A FIRE ON THE 120 VOLT LINE WHEN CONVERTING TOO 12 VOLTAGE THE DIODE SHOULD NEVER BE USED LIKE THIS THE DIODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO COVERT FROM 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POWER OR WATTAGE LIKE AT AN IGNITOR THE POWER/WATTAGE AT THE CONVERTER IS TO HIGH YOU MUST ISOLATE THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM FROM THE DC SYSTEM AND RUN SEPARATE THEN USE MULTIPLE DIODES TO MAKE THE POWER/WATTAGE FOR THE SOURCE THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE FIRES IN TRAILERS, SO PLEASE RECALL ALL TRAILERS THAT HAVE THESE 120 VOLT TO 12 VOLT CONVERTERS. I'M TELLING YOU THE HEAT FACTOR IS TO HIGH/HOT!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BATTERIES DON'T GET DISCONNECTED WHEN USING THE 120 VOLT HOOK UP AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ON DISCONNECTING EACH SYSTEM IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT A LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT SWITCH ON ONE POLE DOESN'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMMON STILL DRAWS TO THE 120 VOLT SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES AN OVER CURRENT THROUGH THE GROUND AND CAUSES A FIRE. CALL ME AT [XXX] I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!*DT REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*JB

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
