1999 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ENDEAVOR Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ENDEAVOR. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED HIS FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FROM THE RIGHT TO THE LEFT. THE FAILURE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FAILURE EVERY TIME HE APPLIED HIS FOOT TO THE BRAKE FIRMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER CHECKED THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER GREASED AND INSPECTED THE BRAKE CAM AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED THE THIRD TIME AS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THE FRONT AXLE THERE IS NO CENTER BOLT, ALLOWING THE FRONT AXLE AND SPRING TO SLIP FORWARD AND BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH THE PROBLEM. SECONDLY, THERE IS A SHIFTING OF THE DOOR BETWEEN THE BATHROOM AND THE KITCHEN, PREVENTING CLOSURE OF THE DOOR. THIS IS ACCOMPANIED BY A THUMPING NOISE IN THE FLOOR. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL# 02V237000. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

MICHELIN TIRES 235/80R-XRV TIRES...THREE BLOWOUTS, BLOW AWAY A SIDE PANEL OF MOTORHOME. NO RESPONSE FROM ANY MANUFACTURER MONACO AND/OR MICHELIN. ONLY CHECK YOUR PRESSURES. WELL STOPPING AT EACH AND EVERY REST AREA TO CHECK PRESSURES AND STILL EXPERIENCING BLOWOUTS. IN ONE TRIP. WANT TO SELL MOTORHOME AFRAID TO DRIVE DOWN TO GAS STATION TO FUEL UP TO TAKE TO DEALER TO SELL. NEED TO REPLACE ALL TIRES AND COST $2,000.00. HAVE OWNED MOTORHOMES FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND FIRST TIME HAVE EVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I CAN SEE HOW THE INDUSTRY REACTS WHEN, JUST LUCKY AND ONLY LUCK THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED, INCLUDING THE BUSY TRAFFIC AROUND US AS WE WERE ON I-75 WHEN ALL OF THESE OCCURRED.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE BLEW WHILE DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. NLM

ODOMETER & TRIP ODOMETER ARE HARD TO READ IN DAYLIGHT. AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS YOU HAVE TO TAKE EYES OF THE ROAD TOO LONG TO TRY AND READ MILEAGE.

THE DEALER NEVER DISCLOSED THAT THE VEHICLE THEY PURCHASED WAS A BUY BACK THROUGH THE LEMON LAW, THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED PRIOR TO THE CONSUMERS PURCHASING IT, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WIHOUT WARNING, THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER EXTEND THE WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSED. NLM

THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE CAUSE IS WATER SOAKING THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER ASSEMBLY NEAR THE ROADWAY. * MJS
