FLEETWOOD Complaints

FLEETWOOD MOTOR HOME WHICH USES SI-GI WINDOWS (DUAL PANE) HAD 4 WINDOWS SEAL BREAK CAUSING FOGGING IN BETWEEN WINDOWS WITH ONE WINDOW BEING THE CO-PILOTS WINDOW CAUSING DISTORTED VISIBILITY. *TR

FLEETWOOD MOTORHOME WITH SI-GI WINDOWS IN WHICH 4 WINDOWS INCLUDING THE CO-PILOTS WINDOW FOGGING FROM DUAL PANE WINDOW SEALS BROKEN CAUSING UNSAFE VISUAL VISION THROUGH WINDOW. *TR

THE DUAL PANE WINDOWS IN MY MOTOR HOME ARE FOGGED UP MAKING IT HARD TO SEE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THERE ARE MORE WINDOWS FOGGING UP BUT NOT ONES THAT WOULD AFFECT MY ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. FLEETWOOD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT CONTINUES TO DO BUSINESS WITH SI-GE WINDOWS AND IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 FLEETWOOD EXCURSION HAS DUAL INSULATED GLASS THAT HAS FOGGED UP. I HAVE REPLACED ONE OF THE WINDOWS BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT WAS THE WINDOW THAT I LOOK THROUGH TO SEE MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE MANUFACTURER WON'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ON MY FLEETWOOD MOTOR HOME HAS DUAL PANE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS THAT ARE FOGGY BETWEEN THE TWO PANES OF GLASS. THEY ARE GETTING TO THE POINT THAT THE DRIVER HAS A VERY HARD TIME SEEING THROUGH THEN AND AT NIGHT TIME YOU CAN NOT SEE AT ALL. CALL WAS MADE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY IS OVER. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FLEETWOOD EXPEDITION RV. IN WARM WEATHER, ALL OF THE WINDOWS BECOME FOGGY AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS CONSTANTLY GRAYISH IN COLOR. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS HAD DEFECTIVE SEALS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDOWS NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND RESEALED AT THE ESTIMATED COST OF $200. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,000. UPDATED 12/8/09 *CN UPDATED 12/09/09.*JB
