FLEETWOOD Complaints

WE PURCHASED A 2018 BOUNDER 33C IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, WE LEARNED THE SUSPENSION WAS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT AND THE HIGH CENTER OF GRAVITY WHEN MOVING, GIVING US THE FEELING THAT IT WOULD TIP OVER WHEN ROUNDING CURVES AND ON LOCAL ROADS WHERE IT WOULD ROCK BACK AND FORTH, TO THE EXTENT THAT WHEN MY WIFE FOLLOWED ME TO THE REPAIR SHOP, SHE WAS GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH AND SAID SHE WAS WAITING FOR THE TIRES TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND. THE RV ALSO PORPOISES. RELATING TO THE SUSPENSION, THERE IS A YELLOW WARNING TAG (SEE ATTACHMENT) ON THE SCREEN DOOR WE WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT BEFORE PURCHASE. THE WARNING STICKER REVEALS THAT THE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR CARGO ON OUR RV HAS BEEN 'REDUCED' TO 2681 POUNDS AND STATES, 'THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED: 1,216 KG OR 2,681 POUNDS.' IT GIVES THE WEIGHT OF A FULL LOAD OF WATER AND STATES THAT THE TONGUE WEIGHT OF A TOWED TRAILER ALSO COUNTS AS CARGO. IF ALL THE TANKS ARE MAXED OUT AND THERE IS A TOWED VEHICLE, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 100 POUNDS OF CUSHION, MEANING THAT NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I CAN BOARD THIS VEHICLE SAFELY, LET ALONE OTHER OCCUPANTS AND AMENITIES. ANOTHER DANGEROUS STATIONARY POSITION IS THE FUEL TANK CONNECTION BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TRIGGER THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF AT A GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING AND FUEL KEEPS PUMPING AND OVERFLOWS ON THE GROUND WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GASOLINE HITTING THE EXHAUST OR SOMEONE THROWING A CIGARETTE NEAR THE RV. THE DASHBOARD IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ 75% OF THE TIME FROM SUN GLARE (SEE ATTACHMENT AND ARTICLE), MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHEN MOVING, DRIVING IN SCHOOL ZONES , CONSTRUCTION ZONES, AND RESIDENTIAL ZONES. THESE ARE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTS, AND WE ARE REQUESTING YOUR HELP IN REQUIRING THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THEM.

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES. WHEN I CHECKED ALL THE SCREWS SHEARED OFF AND BECAME FREE FROM THE BODY AND WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WALL IS COMING APART FROM THE FLOOR OF THE RV. HAD THIS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE FLOOR CAN FALL ONTO THE ROAD. WE CAN SEE THE ROAD FROM BETWEEN THE WALL AND FLOOR. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO FLEETWOOD AND HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU AS WELL WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OVER THIS. AND FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY FLEETWOOD NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW.

I OWN AND LIVE IN THIS 1999 FLEETWOOD TRAVEL TRAILER. IT HAS A RECAL ON THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR. THE RECALL IS DUE TO LEAKING FUMES AND OVER 3,000 HAVE EXPLODED. I TRIED TO HAVE THEM FIX IT THEY REFUSED. I CANNOT USE MY PROPANE OR WILL NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY TRAILER EXPLODE. I HAVE COMPLAINED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. I HAVE LOST SO MUCH MONEY ON FOOD AND BUYING THESE LITTLE TINY REFRIGERATORS AND THEY DON'T WORK OR SOMETHING HAPPENS PLUS I DON'T HAVE ROOM. CAN I GET THIS FIXED PLEASE.

THE EXHAUST FROM THE GENERATOR IS UNDER THE BEDROOM SLIDE-OUT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT RUNNING THE GENERATOR WHILE SLEEPING. I ASK FLEETWOOD ABOUT MOVING THE EXHAUST TO THE BACK OR TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COACH AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY. THE UNITE WAS STATIONARY. *TT VIN IS INVALID UPDATED 9/4/18*JB
