    The product, in the report: Dynacraft 12-Volt Tonka Dump Truck Model 880196U

    The consumer indicates that his son was using his ride-on toy for about one minute when he noticed that it was not steering correctly. The consumer’s son got off the unit so it could be inspected. Upon inspection, the consumer noticed that one of the side welds snapped off as the front steering mechanism is made of painted steel and on each side is a circular tube welded to a square bar.

    The consumer contacted the Manufacturer and explained the situation; the representative he spoke to informed him that they no longer receive replacements parts for the product from the Manufacturer so they could not assist him.

    About one year ago the consumer noticed the wheel was not sitting straight so he inspected the product and noticed that the front left wheel can fall off because the thread for the axle nut unscrews when one turns to the left. The consumer contacted the Manufacturer and explained the situation however all he was offered was a replacement nylon lock nut so the consumer replaced the nylon lock nut with a metal one he purchased himself. The issue was resolved.

    The consumer states that the unit was used one to two times per week for about twenty to thirty minutes each use. The consumer notes that there is no rust around the welds and that the toy was not ran into anything.

    The consumer plans on keeping the ride-on toy for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

    The product, in the report: Realtree 24V UTV Specifications Table Product Weight 105.60 Recommended Age 3+ Color Black Battery 24V Product Height 48.67” Product Length 58.17” Product Width 35.92” Top Speeds 5 MPH Run Time 45 minutes Number of Speeds 2 Charge Time 8 Hours Additional Features Front Rack, Suspension spring, Working Headlights, MP3 Input, Realistic UTV Sounds

    This is in regards to the Dynacraft Realtree 24V UTV power toy ride. On three different occasions, the steering wheel bolt has broken, which prohibits the driver from steering immediately. I have written Dynacraft directly and each time, they have mailed me a replacement bolt but it continues to happen--this bolt is not strong enough and keeps breaking. This is a hazard as my child has run into things because of the sudden loss of steering when the bolt has broken.

    The product, in the report: Camo quad/surge 12v XL .

    My granddaughter was riding her camo surge 4 wheeler and she wanted to get off, she could not get the 4 wheeler to stop, she tried shifting gears but it just kept going. She winded up hitting a tree when I was chasing her to get her off, even when she hit the tree, the motor kept going. Thankfully she was not injured, just scared. We had to take the seat off and unhook the battery to get it to quit.

    The product, in the report: Dynacraft Surge 12V Quad ride-on toy

    My sons camo 4 wheelers (12V made by dynacraft) pedal got stuck as he was riding. He tried to stop because he was about to go down a steep hill. He turned the handle bars really sharp so he wouldn’t go down the steep hill, and the 4 wheeler turned over. Then handle bar shaft then broke because he turned it to hard to sharp because he was scared. Total wasted $300 toy! Later - we saw there was a recall on the pedal- because it is sticking....

    The product, in the report: Dynacraft 12V Camo 4x4/Surge

    My son was riding his Dynacraft 12V Camo 4x4 in our backyard when the pedal got stuck and he crashed into a fence where the ride on stayed spinning tires until I went and banged on the accelerator pedal and got it to stop. It’s very disappointing because this is one of the most expensive ride ins we have purchased at $299.00 and the only one I have had trouble with. I’ve had it parked for about two months already because my son doesn’t want to ride it or try it anymore. I want to know what we can do to fix this. Don’t even think my son wants to use it anymore. It’s a shame
