I PUT MY 1996 CLASS A MOTOR HOME IN AUTO-PARK AT A DUMP SITE. I GOT OUT OF THE SEAT TO DUMP MY TANKS AND MY WIFE WARNED ME WE WERE ROLLING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT HIT ANY THING. THE AUTO PARK LIGHT WAS ON AND WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR I COULD HEAR THE AUTO PARK DISENGAGING, BUT IT WAS NEVER ON. VEHICLE ROLLS AWAY WHEN IT SHOULD BE IN PARK AND THE DASH STATES IT IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO HAVE MY WIFE KEEP HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE I PUT BLOCKS IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE WHEELS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY. *LA

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
