TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 VIKING SAGA. WHILE CRANKING THE ROOF LIFT SYSTEM, THE ROOF DROPPED DOWN AND BECAME STUCK HALFWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V364000 (EQUIPMENT). THERE WAS NO MILEAGE. *DT *DT VIN NOT AVAILABLE.*JB

I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF ON THE LIFT SYSTEM OF THIS TRAILER. IT IS ALREADY DOCUMENTED HERE UNDER NUMBER 05V364000 . HOWEVER VIKING GIVES A STORY ABOUT WHO USED TO OWN THE COMPANY AND IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS ETC, SO NOW I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF IF I WANT THE DANGEROUS CONDITION REMEDIED.

2005 SAGA 2107 CAMPER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DIRECT DRIVE LIFT SYSTEM, WHEN TURNING THE LIFT CRANK HANDLE THE MECHANISM ABRUPTLY SKIPS. ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *TS *SC

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED ON AUGUST 18, 2005 FOR A POSSIBLE ROOF SYSTEM FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE THE ROOF TO COLLAPSE (RECALL ID #05V364000) AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT TO USE IT. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2005 FOR REPAIRS AND IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE, UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOW REFUSES TO SPEAK TO ME, SAYING I WILL BE CONTACTED BY SOMEONE FROM "CORPORATE. *JB
