JAYCO Complaints

I HAVE SIX OTHER TIRES WITH THE SAME INFO ON THEM JAYCO MOTOR HOME E SYOER DUTY( DOT NUMBER: VD1L1XD527 TIRE SIZE: LT22575R16 )

THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRE SIZE LT P215/85R16 EXPERIENCED TWO TIRE TREAD SEPARATIONS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RECREATIONAL TRAILER. *MJS

WHILE FILLING HOLDING TANK, IT HOLDS 420 POUNDS AND IT SLIDES IN ON A SMALL LEDGE. THE SCREWS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO HOLD TANK IN. TQANK HAD 6 SCREWS MISSING ON THE BACK, AND 5 ON THE FRONT, AND THE REST OF THE SCREWS WERE HALF SCREWED IN. LEDGE IS CALLED A Z-BAR, WITH TWO STRAPS TO HOLD TANK IN PLACE. CONSUMER SAID WHOLE TANK FELL OUT, AND BROKE THE ON AND OFF VALVE, AND DRAINED THE TANK. IF THIS WOULD HAD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING EAST ON I-26 NEAR EXIT TO HWY 301 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 AM, RIGHT INSIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED CAUSING TIRE TO BLOW OUT AND DAMAGING STORAGE BINS AND WHEEL WELL.( DOT NUMBER: VD1L1XD527 TIRE SIZE: LT22575R16 )

ON VACATION, SOUTH CAROLINA, 70 MPH FLAT ROAD, NO HAZARDS, 91 DEGREES OUTSIDE TEMP. AIR PRESSURE 80PSI IN TIRE. I HAD BEEN WATCHING UNUSUAL WEAR ON DRIVER SIDE READ INSIDE DUAL FOR 3000 MILES. TIRE WAS WEARING TREAD LINES UNEVEN. OF THE 5 TREAD LINES ON THE TIRE, TREAD LINES 2 AND 4 WERE CUPPED AND WORN MORE THAN THE REST OF ANY OF THE TIRES. I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED BY NUMEROUS TIRE FACILITIES TO ENSURE BALANCE, RIM, FIT, ETC. NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AND THIS GOT ME CONCERNED. WHILE ON THE TRIP AFTER ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING, TO MY SURPRISE, THE "PASSENGER" SIDE BLEW OUT. NOT THE TIRE I EXPECTED TO HAVE TROUBLE. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW, IT COMPLETELY DELAMINATED THE ENTIRE TREAD FROM THE TIRE LEAVING ONLY THE SIDEWALLS ON THE RIM. THESE TIRES STILL HAVE 3/8 INCH OF TREAD ON THEM! THE FORCE OF THE SEPARATION TOOK ME OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT ACCIDENT BUT THE TREAD WHEN LEAVING MY VEHICLE, DESTROYED THE GAS LINE FILLER HOSE, THE ALLUMINUM UNDERCARRIAGE BOX THAT HOLDS THE POWER DISTRIBUTION PANEL, THE FRESH WATER PUMPING SYSTEM AND THE SIDE BODY PANEL INFRONT OF THE TIRE. THE METAL BOX THAT HOLDS THE RV'S EQUIPMENT CAN'T BE REPAIRED, IT MUST BE REPLACED. I SAVED A FRAGMENT OF THE TIRE BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE REST OF THE TREAD. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE A PIECE OF THE TIRE IS BECAUSE IT WAS CUT BY THE PLATE STEEL SUPPORT OF THE FRAME AND WEDGED ITSELF INTO THE CHASIS CORNER. I REALIZE THAT THE ATX TIRES ARE THE ONES BEING RECALLED BUT I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON. I STILL HAVE 5 OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES THAT ARE EXHIBITING UNUSUAL WEAR. IF THIS HAD BEEN A FRONT TIRE?????( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LTX225/75R )

JAYCO EAGLE CLASSIC: ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BOTH TRAVELLING AT 60MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 IN ARIZONA, IN JULY, THE TREAD CAME OFF TWO FIRESTONE TIRES CAUSING $400 DAMAGE TO MY MOTORHOME. I FEEL THE TIRES CANNOT STAND UP TO THE EXTREME HEAT (100+). BOTH TIRES HAD GOOD TREAD WHICH SIMPLE CAME OFF THE TIRE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225.75.16R )

CONSUMER NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN PULLING THE JAYCO KIWI TRAILER, TRAILER SWAYING ACROSS THE ROAD. CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES, PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING AT 55 MPH. TRAVEL TRAILER WAS SWAYING ACROSS THE ROAD, CAUSING THE TRAILER TO FLIP OVER WHICH CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, TOTALING VEHICLE AND TRAILER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

NHTSA ID 00V169000 CALLS FOR ADDING 180 LBS TO THE FRONT A-FRAME TO RESOLVE TRAILER WEIGHT IMBALANCE WHEN TANKS BEHIND REAR AXLE ARE LEFT FULL. I EXPERIENCED THE EXCESSIVE SWAY - RESULTING FROM 30-40 MPH CROSSWINDS - REFERENCED IN THE RECALL, IMMEDIATLEY FOLLOWING DELIVERY ON THE TRAILER (FULLY EMPTY TANKS). ADDING AN ANTI-SWAY DEVICE TO MY EXISTING WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH ELIMINATED THE EXCESSIVE SWAY. FURTHER, MAINTAINING A 1/2 TO 3/4 FULL FRESHWATER TANK (DIRECTLY BEHIND REAR AXLE) PROVIDE DIMINISHED "PUSH" WHEN OVERTAKEN BY A PASSING SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER. TESTING THE RECALL RECOMMENDATION, ADDING THE ADDITIONAL 180 LBS TO THE FRONT A-FRAME FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO TOWABILITY OR DIMINISHED SWAY. A BETTER RECOMMENDED SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IN MY EXPERIENCE WOULD BE THE (MANDITORY) USE OF A TRAILER HITCH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION/ANTI-SWAY DEVICE COMBINATION.*AK
