2000 FOUR WINDS DUTCHMEN Complaints

THIS VEHICLE IS A RUST BUCKET...THE MANUFACTURE FAILED TO USE PROPER RUST COATING, BOTH IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND ON THE OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE MANUFACTURE, STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE COMPROMISED, WHICH COULD CAUSE CRASHES, AND DEATH. RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE LOWER SUSPENSION ARM AS IT WAS RUSTED THROUGH, HAVE HAD BRAKE LINES REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE RUST. DID CONTACT THOR MOTOR COACHES, THE MANUFACTURER, SHOWED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND DESCRIBED THE CONDITION OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE, I ASKED THEM TO SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS JUST AN ABERRATION/SINGLE LEMON OR WAS MY PROBLEM SYMPTOMATIC OF ALL VEHICLES PRODUCED. THEY REFUSED. *TR
