ENTEGRA Complaints

MY RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING WITH ONLY 26,000 MILES AND NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE. THE LEAK WAS UN-REPAIRABLE AND REQUIRED THAT THE RADIATOR BE REPLACED. THERE ARE MANY SPARTAN CHASSIS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO SPARTAN IS OBVIOUSLY USING INFERIOR PARTS OR AN INFERIOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

RADIATOR FAILED AFTER 3 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS AND 49600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF VEHICLES IN THIS YEAR THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR RADIATOR FAILURES AROUND THE SAME "TIME IN OPERATION".

SAW AN ARTICLE IN THE LOCAL PAPER, "REGULATORS OPEN PROBE OF GOOD YEAR TIRE FAILURES" THIS WEEK. ALTHOUGH THE ONLY TIRE MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE IS A G159 MODEL, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE G670 RV TIRES. ON JUNE 6TH THIS YEAR WE HAD A GOODYEAR G670 RV TIRE "BLOWOUT" WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH KENTUCKY ON I-65. THE TIRE WAS ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE COACH AND IT LITERALLY EXPLODED AND DID OVER $18,000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE. WE WERE "CAPTIVE" IN PADUCAH, KY FOR 116 DAYS WAITING FOR THE COACH TO BE REPAIRED. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES ILL BE SURPRISED. WE HAVE BEEN RVING SINCE 1975 AND HAVE HEARD MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER RV OWNERS ABOUT BLOWOUT PROBLEMS WITH THESE PARTICULAR TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND DAMAGE DONE TO THE COACH WHEN THE TIRE DISINTEGRATED WHICH I WILL GLADLY E-MAIL TO YOU IF YOU E-MAIL US A GOOD E-MAIL ADDRESS TO SEND THEM TO. OUR E-MAIL IS [XXX] ...*BF INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE STEER TIRE BLOW OUT (GOODYEAR G670 R295 22.5) AT 71MPH ON I-10 EASTBOUND APPROACHING EXIT 5. I ENDED UP DISABLED IN THE MEDIAN BUT DIDN'T ROLL THE RV AND MANAGED TO NOT CROSS OVER INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. *BF ** *TR

NOTE: THIS DEFECT APPLIES TO ALL 2017 AND 2017 ENTEGRA ANTHEM MOTORHOMES. THIS VEHICLE IS MISSING ALL REQUIRED REFLECTORS. THERE ARE NO REAR REFLEX REFLECTORS, NO REAR SIDE REFLEX REFLECTORS, INTERMEDIATE SIDE REFLEX REFLECTORS, OR FRONT SIDE REFLEX REFLECTORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERMEDIATE SIDE MARKER LIGHT IS NOT LOCATED AT OR NEAR THE MIDPOINT BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR SIDE MARKERS, BUT INSTEAD IS MOUNTED OVER THE REAR AXLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE C-SHAPED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CAN EXCEED THE 1.067M MOUNTING HEIGHT WHEN AIRED UP FOR TRAVEL, AND THE DRL WAS NOT DEACTIVATED AS REQUIRED WITH THE HEADLAMP SWITCH IN ANY ON POSITION.

DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP WHEN TIRE SUDDENLY EXPLODED. BRAND NEW TIRE BLOWOUT. I AM VERY METICULOUS ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE, AS I CHECK PRIOR TO EVERY TRIP AND MORNING. MY COACH ALSO HAS TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) AND PRESSURE WAS PERFECT. BLOWOUT HAS CAUSED $15K IN DAMAGES AND 5 MONTHS OF REPAIR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 ENTEGRA ANTHEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC JACKS DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR OPENED WHEN OPERATING THE RV. IN ADDITION, WATER ENTERED THROUGH THE ROOF AND WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V33000 (VISIBILITY), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ALLOW WATER IN AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,400.
