The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
Click any bar to open that year's report.
Every complaint is filed against a part. Follow any row for the complaints about that part alone.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
In the owners' own words, exactly as filed with NHTSA.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
UPON ARRIVING IN SAN ANTONIO, TX FROM MD, WE HAD A 3" GAP BETWEEN THE TRAILER BODY AND FLOOR. WE CONTACTED HRC. THEY REFERED US TO HOLIDAY WORLD IN HOUSTON, TX FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPAIRS AS MAY NEEDED. AT THAT TIME THE CAUSE WAS NOT KNOWN SO ANY WARRATY COVERAGE WAS IN GUESTION. AFTER OUR 10 DAY COMMENTMENT IN SAN ANTONIO, WE PROCEEDED TO HOUSTON SLOWLY. HOILDAY WORLDS FINDING WAS ASTOMISHING. THE FACTROY HAD NEVER BOLTED THE FRAME TO THE TRAILER BODY! HRC DID AGREE TO PAY FOR THE NECESSARY LABOR AND MATERIAL COSTS TO BOLT THE TRAILER TOGETHER, BUT WOULD NOT REINBURSE US FOR OUR 3 WEEKS OF LIVING EXPENSES WHILE WE WAITED FOR THIS WORK TO BE COMPLETED.

PREPAIRING TO TRAVEL NORTH AFTER OUR WINTER STAY IN SOUTH FL, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE BODY WAS SEPERATING FROM THE FRAME AGAIN. WE COULD LOOK INTO THE GAP AND SEE THAT THE ELEVATOR BOLT HEADS THAT WERE TO HOLD THE UNIT TOGTHER HAD PULLED THROUGH THE BASE CHANNEL OF THE BODY FRAME STRUCTURE. HRC AGAIN WANTED US TO TAKE THE UNIT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. RHONE'S HAD BEEN NO HELP WITH THESE ONGOING STRUCTURE PROBLEMSIN THE PAST. WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD DELAY INSPECTION UNTILL WE ARRIVED IN TX IN OCTOBER. IN JULY WE FOUND THAT WE COULD NOT OPEN THE FRONT CURB SIDE DOOR WITHOUT FIRST JACKING UP THE REAR OF THE TRAILER. THE DOOR DEAD BOLT LOCK COULD NO LONGER BE USED. AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO A DAMAGING WATER LEAK, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ROOF HAD CRACKED OVER THE PASSAGE DOOR. WE PATCHED THE CRACKED, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAID THE CUSTOM FABICATED AND PERMINATELY INSTALLED COUNTER ON THE FRONT CURB SIDE OF THE UNIT. WE WOULD CONTINUE TRAVELING UNTIL WE REACHED TX AND HOILDAY WORLD OF HOUSTON.
