My stonewell trailer was less than 3 years old when the axle broke off while I was driving down the road. The tire and part of the axle were sent though a busy intersection. When I called [XXX], the owner at stonewell, I was told that I needed to replace both the broken axle and the other axle on my trailer because they were not the correct axle. He told me I needed to have heavier weighted axles. I know of other stonewell trailers that have had the same problem, this is not an isolated incident. No one was injured in my case but I felt very lucky that no cars were coming as I watched that tire go through an intersection at a high speed.

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.
