WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY HEARD T TIRE POPPYING. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. RIGHT TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM WHEEL. CARLISLE ST, 175-80 D13, DOT ALJU1901.*AK

FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSED WINDOW TO EXPLODE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER HAS CONTATCED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHEN LEFT WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT CAUSING TIRE TO WOBBLE AND CONTROL VERY DIFFICULT. REPLACED AXLE/ TWO HUB ASSEMBLIES, AND ONE TIRE.*AK

CRACKS DEVELOPED WHERE THE TOWING FRAME ATTACHES TO THE MAIN UNDER-FLOOR FRAME, ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES, CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT DESIGNED STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER AND BELIVES THIS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT.*YH

WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH FRON SUSPENSION SPRING BROKE, ALLOWING AXLE TO JAM INTO WHEEL WELL. NO COLLISION OR INJURIES OCCURRED. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THE COILS ARCH TO THE FRAME, AND ARCH BETWEEN THE SPARK PULG WIRES.THEY ARE LOCATED BETWEEN BOTH HALVES OF THE GAS TANK. I REALLY BELEIVE THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE SMALLEST OF GAS LEAKS COULD IGNITE OR WORSE. THIS WOULD INFLECT MAJOR INJURIES TO THE RIDER!

THE TRAVEL TRAILER ABOVE DEMONSTRATED EXCESSIVE SWAYING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE HITCH WAS SETUP CORRECTLY BY THE DEALER. ON THIS OCCASION WE WERE PASSED BY 2 TRACTOR TRAILERS ON THE OPEN INTERSTATE WHICH INTENSIFIED THE ALREADY SWAYING TRAILER. THE TOW VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE INTERSTATE BY THE SWAYING ACTION OF THE TRAILER, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER ROLLED THREE TIMES BEFORE STOPPING. THE TOW VEHICLE AND TRAILER WERE "TOTALLED". MY WIFE SUSTAINED A BAD BUMP ON THE HEAD BUT OTHER THAN THAT OUR 2 CHILDREN AND MYSELF WERE NOT PHYSICALLY INJURED OTHER THAN A FEW SCRATCHES. UPON SOME INVESTIGATION OF MY OWN I HAVE LEARNED OF OTHERS WITH THIS TRAILER EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM WE LEARNED THAT STARCRAFT HAS MOVED THE AXLES REARWARD ON NEW MODELS TO BETTER BALANCE THE TRAILERS. I FEEL STARCRAFT WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM, YET FAILED TO NOTIFY OWNERS. I AM NOT PRESENTLY INTERESTED IN PERSUING A LAW SUIT, BUT I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO MAKE SURE OTHER OWNERS AND THE MANUFACTURER ARE AWARE THAT ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD IS MY FAMILY STILL ALIVE TO TELL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, DAVID E. CRAWFORD. *AK
