FLEETWOOD Complaints

WE WHERE GOING TO FILL PROPANE UP FOR MOTOR HOME ABOUT 8 MILES AWAY TO GET READY TO TAKE A VACATION.ON THE WAY HOME TO LOAD UP FOR A TRIP. MOTOR HOME STARTED RUNNING RUFF. .THE ONLY DEALER THAT COULD WORK ON FORD ENGINE WAS GATOR FORD SEFFNER FL. CLASS A MOTOR HOME HAD ONLY 23,946 MILES ON IT. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO GATOR FORD ACROSS FROM LAZYDAYS RV. IF I DIDN'T HAVE GOOD SAME THAT WANTED ME TO PAY 720.00 TOWARD THE TOW. THE POLICY WAS TO TOW MOTOR HOME TO NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY THEY HAD TO REPLACE THREE COIL PACKS ON # 6,8,AND 10 CYLINDER. 148.00 EACH.TO ME THEY ARE DEFFECTED. $445.77. THE LABOR WASN'T BROKEN DOWN FOR EACH JOB.TOTAL COST FOR LABOR WAS$1159.71. INVOICE# F0CS24510. 3/19/2020 .THE NORMAL PREVENTED MAINTENANCE IS 10 SPARK PLUGS PLUS FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT FAR FROM HOME WHEN MOTOR HOME ENGINE ACTED UP. NOW THE CONCERN IS THE OTHER 7 COIL PACKS GOING TO GO BAD WHILE WE ARE OUT ON A TRIP. I THINK WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE THREE COLI PACKS AND LABOR AND THE OTHER 7 COIL PACKS REPLACED AGAIN ENGINE ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON ENGINE NOW SINCE I DROVE IT HOME FROM DEALER. THE MOTORHOME HAS ALWAYS BEEN PLUGGED IN AT HOUSE FOR EITHER A/C OR HEAT.. ALWAYS SERVICED AT LAZYDAYS SEFFNER FL. ARTIE GRANT

ON CERTAIN SUSPECTED FCCC CHASSIS, DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE REAR MOUNTED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (PDM), THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD MAY BE INADVERTENTLY SUBJECT TO BENDING STRESSES WHICH MAY, AFTER A PERIOD OF VEHICLE USE, LEAD TO INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUITS, IN WHICH THE REAR MARKER, BRAKE LIGHTS OR LEFT TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS MAY NOT FUNCTION.

DEALER DID NOT INSPECT TIRES. SOLD US AN RV WITH 10 YEAR OLD TIRES. WE BLEW THREE TIRES ON OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP WHILE DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. WE PAID $1700 FOR A DELIVERY INSPECTION. EVEN WITHOUT THIS I WOULD IMAGINE THAT RV DEALERS SHOULD DO A SAFETY INSPECTION. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT TIRES HAD MANUFACTURE YEAR MODELS ON THEM.

THE WINDSCREEN WIPERS DO NOT COVER THE FURTHEST RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) FROM THE WINDSCREEN SO THAT THE RIGHT SIDED MIRROR IS NOT CLEAR FOR VIEWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE FROM THE VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY IN RAINY CIRCUMSTANCES AND WHEN THERE ARE FLIES AND BUGS ON THE SCREEN. USING THE WINDSCREEN WASHER MAKES IT EVEN WORSE BECAUSE THE WIPER IS DOING A POOR JOB. THE WIPER BLADES ARE ONCE REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL. CONCLUSION: THE WIPER MOTOR'S OPERATING DEGREES (RANGE) IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THE JOB RIGHT AND THE WIPER BLADES MIGHT BE TO SHORT OR THE WIPER MOTOR IS NOT AT THE RIGHT POSITION. THIS IS CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN THE MOTORHOME IS IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FLEETWOOD PROVIDENCE RV EQUIPPED WITH GOOD YEAR TIRES, TIRE LINE: G6 70, AND TIRE SIZE 295/80R/22.5. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN THE CENTER LANE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A JERSEY WALL/ BARRIER ROAD CRASHED INTO 3 OTHER VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WAS NO FIRE OR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FLEETWOOD RV INC LOCATED AT 1010 W COMMERCE DR, DECATUR, IN 46733; PHONE NUMBER: (260) 728-9564 WHERE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL TIRE WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER. ADDITIONALLY WHILE THE RV WAS PARKED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO SENT A REPRESENTATIVE WHO INFORMED THAT THE SIDEWALL AND BELTS WERE RUSTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,700.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2015 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER 35K. I'VE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOWS (2 OF 3) IN THE COACH, WHERE THE METAL CLOSING MECHANISM DETACHES FROM THE WINDOW GLASS. THE WINDOWS ARE MANUFACTURED BY HEHR AND INSTALLED ON NUMEROUS FLEETWOOD RV PRODUCTS. ONCE DETACHED, THE WINDOW MUST BE TAPED SHUT TO PREVENT WATER INGRESS INTO THE COACH, ELIMINATING THE USE OF THE EGRESS WINDOW FOR ITS INTENDED EMERGENCY EXIT FUNCTION. THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION, PENDING SOME TYPE OF REPAIR. I'VE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO VARIOUS AUTO GLASS INSTALLERS, FLEETWOOD (REV GROUP) AND AN HEHR DISTRIBUTOR WITH NONE BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE A WORKABLE, VIABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH SUGGESTIONS FROM RV INTERNET GROUPS, BUT SHORT OF THE ORIGINAL ADHESIVE (WHICH NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY) REPAIRS ARE TEMPORARY AT BEST. I CONTEND THAT HEHR (WINDOW MANUFACTURER) AND FLEETWOOD REV GROUP HAVE PRODUCED A SUBSTANDARD RV EGRESS WINDOW THAT PLACES THE RV OWNERS IN JEOPARDY. I FURTHER SUGGEST THAT THIS ISSUE EXTENDS FAR BEYOND JUST FLEETWOOD PRODUCTS BUT LIKELY INCLUDES MANUFACTURERS ACROSS THE RV INDUSTRY THAT USE HEHR RV EGRESS WINDOWS.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED THE ENTIRE LATCH DETACHED FROM THE WINDOW. AT THAT POINT THE LATCH COULD BE COMPLETELY REMOVED. HAD I NOT DISCOVERED IT, THE ENTIRE LATCH MECHANISM COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT WHILE DRIVING. *JB *DT*DT*JB*DT *AS

2019 FLEETWOOD FLAIR MOTOR HOME. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BATTERY THAT WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 31 FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE INCLUDING ELECTRICAL, VARIOUS LEAKAGES, AND STRUCTURAL ISSUES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DOORS, DRAWERS AND THE DASH. *JS

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATLBELTS DO NOT PULL TIGHT, THEY ALWAYS HANG LOOSE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE UPPER WALLMOUNT/GUIDE AND THE LACK OF TENSION IN THE SEATBELT TENSIONER. BECAUSE THE GUIDE DOES NOT SWIVEL, THE BELT GETS STUCK IN THE CORNER AND LOSES ALL TENSION. EVEN IF YOU GET IT UNSTUCK, THE TENSIONER IS INADEQUATE AND WILL NOT PULL BACK THE BELT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FLEETWOOD PROWLER TRAVEL TRAILER. WHILE OPERATING THE TRAILER, THE CONTACT'S BRAND NEW TIRES BEGAN RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS NOT STABLE AND LIMITED THE SPEED TO 50 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TRIED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND FOUND OUT THAT THE COMPANY WAS OUT OF BUSINESS. THE COMPANY THAT TOOK ITS PLACE WAS CONTACT AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE TRAVEL TRAILER WAS PURCHASED AT CAMPING WORLD OF LUBBOCK (1701 S LOOP 289, LUBBOCK, TX 79423, (888) 414-7713). THE CONTACT HAD PURCHASED A WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM INCLUDING A SWAY BAR FROM THE DEALER AND BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS WORKED FINE. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THE AXLE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THERE WAS NO MILEAGE.
