This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This vehicle has a dana 70 rear end. Manufacturer failed to shim when originally built. This caused rear end to shift and elongate mounting section thus destroying entire rear end. Manufacturer claims no liability due to passing 100,000 mile limit of warranty. My concern is that anyone pulling heavy trailers could experience a total failure of the rear end while moving. This would almost certainly cause the trailer to jacknife and could lead to injury or at least considerable damage. We haul show horses that are valued in excess of $150,000 and we just wanted to alert the NHTSA and the general public in what we see is a potentially dangerous problem. Perhaps ours is the only occurance or perhaps there are others waiting to happen.
