REXHALL Complaints

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 01V163000 IS WRONG!- REPLACING BOLTS IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO JAMES HUGHES PROFFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE FORENSIC SERVICE IS THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS NOT TO FORD SPECIFICATIONS IN LENGTH AND ANGLES THAT IS WHY THE BOLTS BREAK AND SNAP. CHANGING THE BOLTS WON'T PREVENT A FUTURE ACCIDENT -IT JUST PROLONGS IT FOR A WHILE. LETTING REXHALL SIMPLY REPLACE BOLTS AND NOT DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM PUTS RV PEOPLE AND OTHER INNOCENT FOLKS ON THE ROAD IN JEOPARDY. NEWS FLASH FOR RV OWNERS- WHEN REXHALL EXTENDS A COACH "CHOPS THE FRAME AND EXTENDS IT" IT VOIDS THE FORD CHASSIS WARRENTY IN COURT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SO NOW THERE ARE 823 REXHALL VEHICLES RECALLED BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND ALL YOU MADE THEM DO WAS CHANGE 4 BOLTS. A REXHALL OWNER IN PA GOT IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF YEAR AND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS GOING FASTER GOT A DRIVESHAFT COME UP THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS OF HIS MOTORHOME. REXHALL OWNERS BEWARE- THOSE BOLTS WILL STILL SNAP - CHECK YOUR DRIVELINE SPECIFICATIONS AND SEE IF IT IS NOT 3 INCHES TOO LONG LIKE MIND WAS- I SPENT 2 YEARS IN COURT FIGHTING REXHALL. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES FOR SAFE DRIVING. 408/296-1985 FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO TALK TO ME.

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SHARP PULLING TO THE RIGHT IN THE STEERING, DEALER REMOVED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND FOUND THE INSIDE BEARING WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE OUTSIDE BEARING SHOWED NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN GREASED AT THE TIME OF ASSEMBLY, THIS CAUSED THE ROTOR TO BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY THE WEARING OF THE BEARINGS ON THE OTHER PARTS, LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS ALSO REMOVED AND SHOWED SIGNS OF MINIMAL GREASE. *SLC

98 REXHALL AMERCA CLIPPER: CONSUMER SAYS STOVE OVERHEATS AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF UNLESS CONSUMER TURNS OFF THE GAS SOURCE FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES OR UNTIL IT COOLS OFF.

THIS, TOO, COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *AK
