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.
We were towing our 18ft boat up a hill near a lake in san diego when we experienced complete engine/power/brake failure on a hill with no guard rail. The weight of the boat pulled us backward out of control until we jacknifed to the left into the side of the hill which held us in place until the park Ranger towed us out. If we had jacknifed to the right, our entire family would have been pulled over the edge of the hill and down a cliff. All brake systems failed (foot and emergency) and the engine could not pull the weight of the trailer/boat. The trailer/boat were well within the manufactuer's guidlines for towing capacity of 3,500 lbs.
