NHTSA Complaint #10217379 — 2003 WEEKEND WARRIOR FS

WEEKEND WARRIOR TRAILERS: CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED CONCERNING FOLLOWING SAFETY ITEMS. I AM REPORTING MORE SAFETY DEFECTS NOT COVERED IN THE LAWSUIT. TO DATE I HAVE SUFFERED A BENT FRAME, SEVEN BLOWN TIRES, AND MY TRAILER SWAYS TOO MUCH TO TOW AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FULL INFORMATION CAN BE ACCESSED BY GOING TO WWW.TRAILERSETTLEMENT.COM 1. FRAME ON MANY MODELS NOT BUILT STRONG ENOUGH. THEY BEND, CAUSING THE TRAILER TO TOW POORLY FOR MANY REASONS SUCH AS THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BARS AND SWAY CONTROL BEING DEFEATED. ALSO CAN CAUSE OVERLOADED HITCHES. 2. TIRES WERE OF INSUFFICENT LOAD CARRYING ABILITY. THE SUIT COVERED NEW TIRES. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF BLOWOUTS. NO FACTORY REQUIREMENT/RECOMMENDATION TO UPGRADE. 3. WEEKEND WARRIOR FAR UNDERRATED THE DRY WEIGHT OF MANY TRAILERS. MINE WAS ABOUT 1,000 LBS. HEAVIER THAN SPECIFIED. I FOUND OUT LATE JANUARY WHEN WEEKEND WARRIOR SENT ME A NOTICE. 4. TRAILERS NOT DESIGNED SO THAT 15% OF TONGUE WEIGHT CAN BE APPLIED TO MANY MODELS WITHOUT OVERLOADING THE STRONGEST HITCH AVAILABLE. READ WWW.GLAMISDUNES.NET AND SEARCH FOR WEEKEND WARRIOR THREADS ON BENDING HITCHES. 5.THE AXLES MAY BE UNDERRATED FOR THE TRAILERS MAX GROSS WEIGHT. 6. EMERGENCY BRAKE-AWAY SWITCH ON AT LEAST MANY MODELS MELTS WIRING WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING ACTIVATED. THE INCIDENT DATE IS THE APPROXIMATE START DATE OF MY PROBLEMS. *TR
