2005 FLEETWOOD DISCOVERY Complaints

WE ARE EXPERIENCING CLOUDING/FOGGING OF ALL OF THE SIDE WINDOWS ON OUR 2005 FLEETWOOD DISCOVERY. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSING SLOWLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO. THE CLOUDING IS SEVERE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS INTERFERING WITH VIEWING MY SIDE MIRROR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 FLEETWOOD DISCOVERY 39L CLASS A MOTOR HOME. SEVERAL OF THE WINDOWS ON THIS COACH ARE FOGGING UP, AND CANNOT BE CLEANED TO CLEAR UP THE HAZE. ONE OF THE WORST WINDOW IS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THIS MAKES VISION THRU THE WINDOW POOR, AND I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME YEAR/MODEL AS MINE. ALSO IT APPEARS THAT FLEETWOOD IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND HAS CHANGED SUPPLIERS OF WINDOWS FOR THEIR VEHICLES AS A RESULT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN WORSENING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I FEEL THAT A RECALL FOR THESE WINDOWS IS IN ORDER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE WINDOWS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 FLEETWOOD DISCOVERY MOTOR HOME AND EVERY WINDOW IN IT HAD FOGGED UP. OF COURSE, THE MOST DANGEROUS BEING THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. AFTER CALLING FLEETWOOD AND THEY REFERRED ME TO SEGI THE WINDOW MANUFACTURER I FOUND OUT NEITHER OF THEM WOULD ASSIST ME WITH THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A REPAIR FACILITY IN HUDSON, FL., SUNCOAST DESIGN THAT WOULD REPAIR THEM FOR $200.00 PER FRAME. I CHOSE TO REPAIR SEVEN OF THE WINDOWS. THEY DID A SUPERB JOB BUT I STILL FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO INCUR THE EXPENSE. *TR

THE STATIONARY WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF OUR MOTORHOME IS FOGGING UP VERY BADLY. IT IS BAD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH IT AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE WINDOW GLASS IS MADE BY A COMPANY NAMED SE-GI. I HAVE READ ABOUT LOTS AND LOTS OF OTHER FLEETWOOD VEHICLE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME TERRIBLE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY IS OR HAS ALREADY CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. FLEETWOOD WILL NO LONGER DO ANYTHING AS THE BASIC 12 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD HAS ALREADY EXPIRED. WE HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT ONE OTHER STATIONARY WINDOW HAS BEGAN TO FOG UP. WE HAD ONE SMALLER WINDOW THAT IS THE TYPE THAT YOU CRANK IT OUTWARD TO OPEN IT UP. IT IS ONE THAT IS ROUGHLY 24-26 INCHES WIDE AND ABOUT 6 INCHES HIGH. WELL THAT SUCKER TOTALLY FELL OUT AS WE WERE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RECOVER THAT WINDOW AND THIS ALSO HAPPENED AFTER OUR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR SUCH INCIDENTS. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS TO ME THAT ANY COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES VEHICLES THAT COST AN AVERAGE OF WELL OVER $200K, THAT THEY WOULD PERFECT THE PROCESS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT DEALING WITH SUBSTANDARD QUALITY MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP. *TR *TR

ROOF WATER INTRUSION INTO INTERIOR OF RV REAR VIEW MIRROR CHROME FAILURE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SEALS FAILURE ALLOWING FOGGING TO OCCUR. *TR

FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS HAS RUST ALL OVER CHASSIS. CHASSIS IS PART OF A FLEETWOOD RV MOTORHOME. FLEETWOOD AND FREIGHTLINER KEEPS SAYING THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. WHY IS IT MY PROBLEM WHEN THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW MOTORHOME? I BELIEVE THIS UNIT WAS IN WATER. *NM
