WINNEBAGO Complaints

The propane gas cooktop control knobs can be accidentally turned on by brushing your body against them when sliding past the retracted dinette slide-out when walking from the front of the camper to the bathroom, thereby creating the possibility of an explosion and fire.

We are continually getting "AdvanceTrac" warning lights on the dash. We have been unable to find a Ford dealer to work on this issue. The light normally goes away after shutting off the vehicle and restarting. However, when this light comes on, the cruise control shuts off and is inoperable until the warning light resets. We believe that the traction control system is inoperable while this light is on.

40 amp fuse for Solar charger burned. Replaced fuse and fuse holder became too hot to hold with bare hand but didn't blow the fuse. This type of heat causes a risk of fire inside the motorhome. Currently unable to use solar, a significant element of our ability to enjoy the rig.

Winnebago serial number: [XXX] This vehicle has already had the recall work done as described in NHTSA Campaign Number 23V-234. This work was performed at NIRVC in Las Vegas on or around February 7, 2024. Their work was excellent, however the Balmar alternator has once again failed. The prior electrical system recall was completed at the factory service center in Forest City Iowa. Additional service was performed before the recalls were issued at Colonial Airstream (selling dealer) in New Jersey and at Roam Rig in Connecticut. Please pressure the manufacturer to revise the recall and fix what has been a never-ending headache for almost all owners, since purchase. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2024 Winnebago Micro Mini. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V285000 (Equipment). The contact was concerned that the recall remedy was inadequate due to the cooktop control light no longer illuminating. The contact stated that the knobs were easily accidentally activated and without the light illuminated someone could be severely injured. The dealer was contacted, and the recall was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The VIN was not provided.

Cruise control and automatic breaking periodically stop working. This has happened several times during normal operation of the vehicle

Driving on Interstate, heard a loud noise. Nothing on roadway. MotorHome mechanic noticed that driver’s side was not pumping up. The loud noise was the driver’s side air bag exploding. The steering column was affected by the explosion. The turn signal box has slipped down. Scheduled to be taken to shop on Monday 6/17/2024.

The contact owns a 2024 Winnebago Vita built on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis equipped with Continental Tires, Tire Line: VanContact A/S, Rear Driver’s side Tire Size: 215/85/R16, DOT: HW0PHNKU, and Rear Passenger’s side Tire Size: 215/85/R16, DOT: HW0PHNKU. The contact attempted to check the tire pressure of the rear passenger’s side tire, but it was discovered that there was no valve stem on the rear tires. The contact stated that both front tires were equipped with valve stems. The tire was original equipment. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for diagnosis where the contact was advised to install the valve stem at a local tire center which would be an out-of-pocket expense. The vehicle manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The tire manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The tire failure mileage was approximately 1,200 and the RV failure mileage was 1,200.

Recall 23v-745 was improperly performed by the dealer and did not remedy the unsafe condition that prompted the recall.

Belt separation occurred at legal highway speed, specified inflation pressure, and within load parameters of the vehicle. Many other owners have reported the same occurring. The belt separation caused the tire to be out of round and caused severe vibration. We recognized the problem because of similar reports from other owners, pulled off the road, and exchanged the tire for the spare. Within a few days we were able to procure seven new tires and have them installed. Discount Tire on Ben White in Austin probably discarded the old tires but confirmed that there was belt separation. You could see the bulging in a couple places on the tread. If we had suffered a blowout, as some other owners of this model have, it would have been life-threatening at Texas highway speeds of 75 mph.
