HOLIDAY RAMBLER Complaints

On 8/9/23 my diesel RV on a Freightliner chassis threw a 3664 code for a bad Diesel Exhaust Fluid sensor. Lucky I was only 20 miles from home and made it home before the engine derated. I could have easily been stranded on the side of the interstate putting myself and my family in danger. I had to replace the entire diesel exhaust fluid head to fix the problem as the sensor is not a separate part. This seems to be a very common problem for this to go bad and is a huge safety issue. I now carry a spare head in case this happens again as the parts are hard to find.

on cruise control at 70mph starting uphill as speed decreases transmission will shift to a lower gear as it should. almost immediatly speed control shuts throttle down to idle causing drastic loss of speed. In heavy traffic this is a danger to following traffic as it is as if I am coming to an abrupt stop. FMCo manufacturing says so what, take cotrol of your vehicle manually. This is an option but no where in manual that in writing this will happen. Dealers have no knowledge of this problem. FMCo thinks throttle doing this is great. To my knowledge no other models in production do this throttle down. My thought is this should be in manual for other drivers. This has happened since 2015 but no one finds codes which there isnt according to Ford

The contact owns a 2021 Holiday Rambler Invicta RV built on a 2020 Ford F-59 Chassis. The contact stated that the rearview camera image failed to display properly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The RV was towed to an unknown local dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The RV was then taken back to the dealer for routine maintenance, and the contact was made aware that the VIN was included in a Service Brake recall and three other unknown recalls. The RV was not repaired. The RV was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it remained awaiting the parts for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

The front grills on these models are made out of ABS plastic and are inherently weak. They are not durable enough for their designed use. They break at the mounting points and crack down the middle. I know of at least 5 other people that have had the same thing happen to them. REV Group makes another model that is nearly identical called the Fleetwood Fortis where the grill is different and doesn't have this issue. Holiday Rambler will not warranty these grills even though they know they have a problem. The grills only last a year or two and then have to be replaced at a cost of nearly $1,000.

Service Engine Light activated. Spark plug wires burnt and 4 replaced in TX on 5/24/21. Same problem again on 6/14/21. This appears to be a problem with new Ford V8 engine F-53 chassis. We are on cross US trip and trying to get fixed again. Symptom of problem, hesitation in power while driving and concern about burning wires. Also, since happened twice, what are chances happens again? How often are we supposed to keep replacing spark plug wires?
