2008 TIFFIN ALLEGRO Complaints

The contact owns a 2008 Tiffin Allegro Bus. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 75 MPH, the interior cabinetry separated from the ceiling, fell, and almost injured to the occupants of the RV. The RV was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The RV was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 77,000.

TIFFIN RECALLED SOME 2008 ALLEGRO BAY MOTOR HOMES, BUT OURS WAS NOT ON THE LIST. WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE CALIPERS FAILING IN JULY OF 2015. THIS WAS THE ISSUE OF THE RECALL. WE MADE A QUICK STOP TO AVOID A VEHICLE AND THEN THE BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG. PULLED OVER, BRAKES WERE OVERHEATED SO WE BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR REPAIR FACILITY. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE SLOWLY TO THE GARAGE WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE. SPENT SOMEWHERE AROUND 6 HOURS IN REPAIR FACILITY. THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS ON BOTH REAR BRAKES. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATED WOULD HAPPEN. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED, AND STILL DON;T KNOW IF OUR VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THERE MAY BE OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

THE REAR VIEW DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR ON A 2008 ALLEGRO BUS RV MADE BY TIFFIN IS MOUNTED IN A MANNER/LOCATION THAT CAUSES A VERY LARGE BLIND SPOT MAKING IT UNSAFE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ON JUNE 4, 2007, I PURCHASED FROM AN RV DEALERSHIP IN KINGSTON, NEW YORK A NEW 2008 ALLEGRO BUS MADE BY TIFFIN. ON JUNE 5, 2007, I LEFT NEW YORK FOR HOME IN OHIO WITH THE NEW RV PURCHASED THE PREVIOUS DAY. DURING THE TRIP HOME, I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WITH THE MIRROR AND THE BLIND SPOT. TIFFIN PICKED UP THE RV IN OHIO AND TOOK TO THEIR FACTORY IN ALABAMA TO MOVE THE MIRROR, AND TO REPAIR OTHER DEFECTS WITH THE RV, AND RETURNED IT BACK TO ME IN OHIO. TIFFIN NEVER MOVED THE MIRROR WHICH STILL CAUSES A VERY LARGE BLIND SPOT MAKING IT UNSAFE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. NEW RV'S FROM TIFFIN ARE STILL LIKE THIS EVEN THOUGH TIFFIN IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FROM ME AND OTHER CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL FAIL ON A 2008 ALLEGRO BUS RV MADE BY TIFFIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION. THE BRACKETS INSIDE BREAK OFF AND THE WIPERS FALL DOWN. ON JUNE 4, 2007, I PURCHASED FROM AN RV DEALERSHIP IN KINGSTON, NEW YORK A NEW 2008 ALLEGRO BUS MADE BY TIFFIN. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE NEW RV THAT DAY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AND STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. ONLY 8 HOURS LATER ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 5, 2007, I LEFT NEW YORK FOR HOME IN OHIO WITH THE NEW RV PURCHASED THE PREVIOUS DAY. DURING THE TRIP HOME, RAIN STARTED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RAN ABOUT 7 MINUTES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TIFFIN PICKED UP THE RV IN OHIO AND TOOK TO THEIR FACTORY IN ALABAMA TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, ALONG WITH OTHER DEFECTS, AND RETURNED IT BACK TO ME IN OHIO. THE TIFFIN DRIVER SAID HE HAD SEVERAL FAIL. AFTER THE RV WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RAN ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE BREAKING AGAIN AND STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR
