I STEPPED OUT OF MY 2001 TETON I WAS ON THE SECOND OF THREE STEPS WHEN THEY GAVE WAY AND I FELL TO THE GROUND. I LOOKED BACK AT THE STEPS AND SAW THAT THE CAST TYPE METAL THAT KWICKEE COMPANY THAT MADE THE STEPS WITH HAD BROKEN IN HALF. I CALLED AN ATTORNEY ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU HAD TO HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING OR HAD TO HAVE SURGERY FOR THEM TO REPRESENT YOU. I HAD TO PAY $235 OF OVER $500 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IT IS A RESULT OF POOR WORKMANSHIP IN THE CHOICE OF METALS USED TO BUILD THE STEPS. I AM STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN FROM MY FALL. *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.
