2014 TIFFIN ALLEGRO Complaints

CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING, AIR BRAKES GAUGES DROP DEAD AND BRAKE WANING LIGHTS COME. ALSO THE MIL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE MESSAGE CENTER READS 'CHECK ENGINE'. YOU HAVE TO SMACK THE TOP OF THE DASH TO GET IT TO READ NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER STANDING STILL OR DRIVING. YOU HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN AT THE DASH TO SEE WHAT HAPPENING NOW, THIS IS DANGEROUS.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED, DASH LIT UP WITH WARNING LIGHTS, DASH SOUNDED ALARMS, MOBILE EYE FLASHED ERR..AND DASH DISPLAY FLASHED ABS COMM ERROR! 60 SECONDS LATTER THE ENGINE STOPPED (EVERYTHING DEAD)...BUT MOTOR COACH STILL MOVING WITH NO POWER STEERING! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE COACH IN A BUSY EXIT LANE. AFTER 4 HOURS (POLICE STAYED WITH US THE ENTIRE TIME)...WAS ABLE TO RESET ECM ERROR CODE AND START THE ENGINE. AFTER CONTACTING TIFFIN, THEY ADVISED TO DISCONNECT MOBILE EYE UNDER DASH. SPENT 1 HOUR UNDER DASH (WHILE IN TRAFFIC) TRYING TO FIND CONNECTION. NEVER FOUND, BELIEVE IT IS NOT UNDER DASH, BUT UP AND BEHIND A KICK PANEL? LIMPED COACH HOME...WITH THE PROBLEM RECURRING 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THIS A S MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM...IMAGINE THE PANIC OF AT 70 MPH THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING...AND YOU ONLY HAVE 60 SECONDS TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO BRING 50,000 POUNDS OF COACH TO A SAFE STOP BEFORE LOOSING ALL POWER! THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES BY OTHERS AS RECORDED IN THE TIFFIN NETWORK FORUM. THIS SHOULD BE A TIFFIN RECALL ACTION!*DT*JB

2014 TIFFIN ALLEGRO MOTORHOME/2013 FORD CHASSIS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE STARTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT THE END OF THE EXIT RAMP, THE RV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT SEEMED TO BE MISSING. AFTER SEVERAL CYCLES OF PRESSING AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE RAN SMOOTHLY AND ACCELERATED. ALSO, THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE RESERVE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE 5TH DAY OF OWING THE RV. THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED WHAT WAS KNOWN AS IDLE MODE, WHICH WAS THE ENGINE OPERATION CONDITION IN WHICH THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE RV WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP. HOWEVER, NO ERROR CODES APPEARED FOR THE PROBLEM THE CONSUMER DESCRIBED, BUT DURING A TEST DRIVE, THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO SEE, WHAT THE CONSUMER WAS REFERRING TO, AS THE INCIDENT OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THE DEALER DID DETERMINE THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH WAS FAULTY, BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH WAS FINALLY REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON SEVERAL MILES AFTER START-UP. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE IMMEDIATELY AT START-UP. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED HARD, IT REQUIRED A LOT OF PRESSURE, TO BRING THE UNIT TO A STOP. ALSO, THE RV WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. THE DEALER FOUND A FITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP LOOSE. *JB
