MONACO COACH Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 70MPH, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A DITCH. GOODYEAR TIRE.*JB

VEHICLE EXHIBITS CONSIDERABLE SWAY AND WANDERING WHILE IN MOTION, STEERING GEAR RATED UP TO 9000 LB FRONT AXLE, ACTUAL AXLE WEIGHT 10460, INSTALLED 12,800 LBS. *YD

CONSUMER STATES THAT TIRE IS HAVING BAD RIVETING PROBLEMS, WHILE DRIVING TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT, ALMOST CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL, THE TIRE ALSO BLEWOUT LEFT FRONT AIR BAG AND DAMAGED THE VEHICLE, GOODYEAR G159, 225/70R22.5, DOT MC55. *SLC

PER FRAME SHOP, "THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW, IF FAILED AT SPEED PROBABLE LOSS OF CONTROL, VEHICLE OR LIFE."*AK

THE SLIDEOUT ROOM RETAINING CLAMPS ("TRAVEL LOCKS") CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS HIT, (NEARLY ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD) BY A LOOSE "TRAVEL LOCK" WHICH VIBRATED OUT OF PLACE DUE TO SLIDEOUT ROOM VIBRATION. THERE IS NO _POSITIVE_ MEANS OF SECURING THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) IN PLACE... ONLY FRICTION. THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) JUST VIBRATES OUT OF POSITION AS THE SLIDEOUT ROOM VIBRATES WHEN THE COACH TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD. MONACO DOES NOT PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS OR DIAGRAM OF SLIDEOUT LOCK INSTALLATION. THE (CLAMP TRAVEL LOCK) WAS INSTALLED AT DELIVERY TO FIT BETWEEN THE METAL FLANGE OF THE SLIDEOUT AND THE WALL. MONACO'S SUGGESTION TO TIGHTEN THE CLAMP ANY MORE WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIT. MONACO'S SUGGESTION TO ADJUST THE LOCK SO IT FITS BETWEEN THE WOOD FASCIA AND WALL IS MEANINGLESS SINCE, AT THE LARGEST ADJUSTMENT, THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) IS STILL 1 1/2" TOO SHORT. MONACO SHOULD PROVIDE TRAVEL LOCKS WITH A POSITIVE MEANS OF SECURING IN PLACE, NOT JUST FRICTION.*AIK

VEHICLE HAS HAD APPROXIMATELY 12 ALIGNMENTS, WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. MANUFACTURER HAS NO REMEDY.*AK *MR

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE LUGGAGE DOOR OPENS WHILE TRAVELING AND THE ENTRY DOOR JAMS. ALSO, THE SEAL ON ENTRY DOOR CAME OFF. THE RUBBER MOLDING HOLDING THE WINDSHIELD POPPED AT UPPER CORNERS ON BOTH SIDES. THE DOOR, SEAL AND WINDSHIELD PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE TWISTING OF THE FRAME. *YH
