I PURCHASED A SUNNYBROOK SUNSET CREEK #268 34 MONTHS AGO. SEVERAL DAYS AGO, I NOTICED SOME ELECTRIC BRAKE WIRES DANGLING UNDER THE TRAILER. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE PLATE THAT HOLDS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY IN PLACE HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE AXLE. ALL BOLTS WERE EITHER BROKEN OR GONE. I FOUND 4 NUTS IN THE CASING. THE BRAKE PLATE WAS BADLY DAMAGED FROM ROTATING ON THE AXLE SPINDLE. THEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE PLATE ON THE AXLE IN FRONT OF THE BAD AXLE PLATE WAS LOOSE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BECAUSE SOMEONE DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS TO SPECS. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. #1 METAL TO METAL FRICTION CAN START A FIRE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. #2 BRAKES WILL NOT WORK UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. EVEN THOUGH THIS UNIT HAS A 2 YEAR WARRANTY, SUNNYBROOK OR THE COMPANY SUPPLYING THE AXLE OR FRAMEWORK SHOULD REPAIR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE ENTERED AS A RECALL, BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I WILL CHECK WITH MY DEALER TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN GET RESULTS. REMEMBER, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE!!! *TR

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.
