FLEETWOOD Complaints

2008 FLEETWOOD AMERICAN EAGLE MOTORHOME WEIGHT PROBLEMS. *BF THE RV WILL NOT CARRY THE MANUFACTURER'S PRINTED AND CERTIFIED CCC. THE CONSUMER STATED HE REQUESTED THAT THE NHTSB SEND OUT NOTICES TO OWNERS OF 2007, 2008 AND SOME 2009 FLEETWOOD AMERICAN COACH 42 FT. MOTORHOMES WITH 16,600 FRONT AXLES. THE NOTICES SHOULD SAY THAT THE AFFECTED COACHES SHOULD CARRY MINIMAL WATER, CARGO AND 1/2 FUEL. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED FLEETWOOD WAS AWARE OF THE FRONT AXLE UNDERRATING PROBLEM SINCE EARLY 2007 AND HAD REQUESTED THAT THE FRONT END MANUFACTURER LOOK AT UPGRADING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT AXLES TO A 15,200 AXLE.

I HAVE A 2005 DISCOVERY MOTORHOME MANUFACTURED BY FLEETWOOD. THE DUAL PANED DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED BY SE GI HAS FAILED AND IS "FOGGING UP" WHICH IS IMPACTING VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR. I AM ALSO STATING TO SEE SIMILAR FAILURES ON SEVERAL OF THE STATIONARY WINDOWS IN THE BACK OF THE MOTORHOME. IN MY OPINION THESE FAILURES ARE PREMATURE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE GLASS DOUBLE PANE WINDOW FOGGED UP. DIFFICULT TO SEE SIDE MIRROR. PASSENGER SIDE GLASS FOGGED UP DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC ALONG SIDE OF MOTORHOME. DOUBLE PANE WINDOWS HAVE LOST THEIR SEALS. PRODUCT DEFECT AND MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPAIR. *TR

WE ARE OWNERS OF A 2008 AMERICAN TRADITION 42F MOTORHOME. SINCE PURCHASING THIS MOTORHOME THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE FRONT END AND THE WEAR OF THE TIRES. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN ALIGNED TWICE IN 6800 MILES. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN WEIGHED BY COLTON TRUCK REPAIR. THE CERTIFIED WEIGHT IS 14740. PER MANUFACTURER THE RECOMMENDED IS GVWR 14600 MAXIMUM WEIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF AMERICAN COACH AND SPARTAN CHASSIS. AS OF THIS TIME, SPARTAN CHASSIS HAS PAID FOR THE WEIGHING OF THE COACH BUT WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVERWEIGHT OF THE FRONT END OR THE TIRE WEAR. THEY PASS IT ON TO AMERICAN COACH BECAUSE THE AMERICAN COACH STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS REQUESTED THIS SIZE OF FRONT END TO MANUFACTURE THIS MOTORHOME. AS OF THE 2010 AMERICAN COACH, THEY WENT TO A LARGER TIRE AND CHANGED THE FRONT END FOR MORE GVW TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRIOR YEARS COACHES WITH THE FRONT END THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION SINCE PURCHASING THIS 2008 MOTORHOME TO BOTH AMERICAN COACH AND SPARTAN TO NO AVAIL. *TR

FOGGED WINDOWS IN MY 2005 FLEETWOOD RV. HARD TO SEE OUT THE DRIVER WINDOW AND SEE SIDE MIRRORS DUE TO HEAVY GLARE FROM THE FOGGING. 11 OUT OF 12 WINDOWS ARE FOGGING IN MY 2005 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER 32W CLASS-A MOTORHOME. SE-GI WINDOWS. *TR

DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR FAILED TO WORK COMPLETELY AFTER HAVING THE SAFETY RECALL. REPAIR WORK DONE. HAD TO HAVE OVER $800.00'S WORK DONE ON REFRIGERATOR IN ORDER TO USE IT. THEY OFFER NO HELP IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS THEIR FAULT & I SHLOULD RECEIVE FINANCIAL HELP BY THEM. MODEL #RM2652 SERIAL #12100464. *TR

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE WINDOWS ON THE COACH FOG UP AND IT IS INSULATED GLASS AND IT IS BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF GLASS AND YOU CAN NOT SEE THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS . FLEETWOOD HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THEY COMPLAINED TO HI WAY MAGAZINE. I HAVE HAD THE RIGHT DOOR GLASS REPLACED BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT SEE OUT OF IT AND IT WOULD NOT CLEAR UP UNLESS IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF COACH AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GET THE SAME ANSWER FROM FLEETWOOD AS I HAVE . IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN NOT SEE YOU REAR VIEW MIRRORS I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*CW

ALL THE STATIONAY WINDOWS ARE "FOGGING UP" IN MY 2005 FLEETWOOD MOTOR HOME. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW I CAN HARDLY SEE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR THROUGH THE GLASS. BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE OUTER VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS A SAFETY CONCERN.. I CALLED FLEETWOOD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT DEALING WITH SEGI WINDOWS ANYMORE.. AND NO RECALL TO FIX ANY WINDOWS.. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 FLEETWOOD PROVIDENCE MOTOR HOME. THE WINDOWS ARE FOGGY. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WINDOWS IS SI-GI. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS SO FOGGY IT IS SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW TO THE MIRROR TO CHANGE LANES. I CONTACTED FLEETWOOD AND WAS TOLD THE MOTOR HOME AND ALL THE PARTS WERE ONLY HAD A YEAR WARRANTY. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DID SEND ME THE ADDRESS OF SI-GI SO I COULD SEND THEM A LETTER OF COMPLAINT. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING COULD NOT BE DONE ABOUT THE WINDOWS IN A FIVE YEAR OLD VEHICLE OF THIS QUALITY. *TR

I AM TRYING TO FIND INFORMATION ON MY SEGI WINDOWS. I HAVE A 2004 FLEETWOOD SOUTHWIND 32VS. ALL MY DUAL PANE WINDOWS ARE CLOUDING UP TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF IF SUNLIGHT IS HITTING ON THEM WHICH LIMITS THE USE OF MY RIGHT REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE TWO LARGE WINDOWS IN THE COACH LIVING AREA HAVE ALSO STARTED TO CLOUD TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THEM. I CONTACTED FLEETWOOD AND WAS TOLD VERY QUICKLY SORRY BUT YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS COMPLAINT RESOLVED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW WITH FLEETWOOD BUT THEY WILL NOT TALK TO ME. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH HIGHWAYS MAGAZINE AFTER READING A ARTICLE ABOUT THE SAME YEAR,MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE AND FLEETWOOD AGREED TO SHARE THE COST WITH THE OWNER BUT WAS SORRY TO INFORM ME MY 2004 WAS OUT OF WARRANTY,I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY 2004 AND THEIRS. AS FAR AS SAFETY THIS PROBLEM IS GROWING TO THE POINT AS I CANNOT SEE OUT OF MY WINDOWS IN THE FORWARD SECTION OF THE COACH. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS? SEGI WILL NOT EVEN LET A PERSON WHO IS NOT A DEALER CALL THEM,WHICH I SEEM UNREASONABLE. *TR
