THIS IS A HORSE TRAILER. DOORS AND WINDOWS STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THEN WE NOTICE THE FLOOR WARPING. WE CRAWLED UNDER THE TRAILER. STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE FRAME NEAR REAR AXLE. FLOOR BECAME WARPED. WE CONTACTED MANUFACTURER WHO ADMITTED A STRUCTURAL DEFECT BUT INFORMED US TRAILER WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND IT AND NOT LOSE THE AXLE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOAD OF HORSES.

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.
