HOLIDAY RAMBLER Complaints

2 GOODYEAR TIRES, ONE DRIVER AND ONE PASSENGER TIRE HAVE EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, ON ONE OCCASION CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, TIRES WERE 15 INCH, GOODYEAR HAS REPLACED ALL TIRES AND IS GOING TO FIX DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLE. *SLC

THE GVWR OF THE MOTOR HOME IS GROSSLY INSUFFICIENT FOR THE INTENDED USE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE MOTOR HOME HAS A GVWR OF 19,400 POUNDS. THE FRONT AXLE RATING IS 6,000 POUNDS WITH THE REAR AXLES CARRYING THE BALANCE OF 13,400 POUNDS. THE VEHICLE WAS WEIGHED ON A CERTIFIED SCALE WITH EMPTY HOLDING TANKS, HALF A TANK OF GAS, < TANK OF WATER AND FULL PROPANE. THE FRONT AXLE, WITH A DRIVER, SCALED AT 5,800 POUNDS AND THE REAR WAS 13,120 POUNDS FOR A TOTAL CURB WEIGHT OF 18,920 POUNDS. I HAVE A NET CARRY CAPACITY OF 480 POUNDS. WITH A 200-POUND CAPACITY REMAINING ON THE FRONT AXLE THAT MEANS THAT WHEN I PUT MY FAMILY ON BOARD, THE FRONT AXLE IS SERIOUSLY OVERLOADED. THE ADDITION OF MY WIFE, TWO CHILDREN AND THE FAMILY DOG TAKE THE WEIGHT BEYOND GVWR. NO FOOD AND NO CLOTHING ARE ON BOARD. THE FUEL TANK IS HALF EMPTY. CONSUMERS NEED PROTECTION FROM THIS KIND OF DECEPTION AND/OR FRAUD. MANY LIVES ARE ENDANGERED WHEN THIS KIND OF IRRESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING IS PERMITTED.

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 FIRST TIRE HAD 9000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL, THE SECOND TIRE HAD ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL, THE THIRD TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL WITH 38% WEAR ON IT (GOODYEAR MARATHON S TRAILER ST225/75R15). NLM

THE CONSUMER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RECALL 00S48 BECAUSE HE HAS TO DRIVE 1.5 HOURS TO THE RV DEALER RATHER THAN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THE SEVERAL LARGE DEALERS CLOSE TO HIS HOME. NLM

THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BOTTOM OUT WHENEVER DRIVING OVER SLIGHT DIP OR SMALL BUMP, THE REAR AXLE WAS 10000 LBS WHEN IT SHOULD HAD BEEN 13500 LBS. NLM MONACO REPLACED THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY, HOWEVER CONSUMER HAD TO DRIVE 140 MILES ONE WAY TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND IS WONDERING WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE DUE TO DRIVING IT OVER20000 MILES WITH TOO MUCH WEIGHT RIDING ON THE WRONG REAR AXLE. *SLC

MICHELIN TIRES P235/80R22.5 XRV DOT B6BJBVJX1100 EXPERIENCE BLOWOUTS, THERE HAVE BEEN 4 TIRE FAILURES, SIDEWALLS ARE SEPARATING FROM CASING. *SLC

THE REAR AIR TANK WHICH IS MOUNTED ABOVE THE SIDE SWAY ARM COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE SWAY ARM MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE FITTING TO BREAK AND POSSIBLY LOOSE AIR PRESSURE OR BRAKES. NLM

THE ORIGINAL GOODYEAR 225-75R16E TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE RATED AXLE WEIGHT LOAD OF THE TRAILER, ONE OF THE TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION AND BLOW OUT WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER, CONSUMER REPLACED ALL TIRES WITH HEAVY GRADE. *MJS

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
