WINNEBAGO Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie RV. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 23V270000 (Structure) and 23V311000 (Structure); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer and other unknown dealers were contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

We were driving the Rv home immediately after purchase. I was in the vehicle with my two children. I was traveling down a flat road at roughly 40 mph when the brakes began to drag. I thought possibly it was simply because the rv was so large and I had never driven one that big before. Until the brakes would no longer work at all. I tried pumping them a few times and the pedal just hit the floor. Thank goodness I was safely able to put into neutral while using the e brake to coast off the road. I’m beyond grateful my family wasn’t harmed. I had to have the vehicle towed to my home and now I seriously worry about the safety of it. I have read in numerous forums upon searching that there have been many recalls on the brakes in workhorse chassis from 2001- 2007 I believe. I’ve called everyone I could think to call, checking for a recall as exactly per the recall states my vehicle malfunctioned. The dealer is not willing to help me. These brakes failed completely. Please advise

Door covering propane compartment flew open at highway speeds; latching system does not work and door can not be closed securely. Design of door closing and latching mechanism faulty. BODY AND DEFECTIVE DOOR IS BY WINNEBAGO

The component is wheel speed sensors. Safety issues - uncontrolled speed, transmission, engine performance, vehicle unable to be operated safely - Had the problem in 2020 (twice) - 2 of 4 sensors replaced after towing....again, in 2020 the third failed - had the 4th replaced at my expense. This year, two days of terror driving across WA - made it to Spokane Mercedes - three of the four sensors were reported as bad - replaced. Almost all warning lights were on at some point getting to the repair - ABS most consistent. This needs a fix as the vehicle is a risk (if you panic). I have learned to get to the side of the road and turn it off - then restart - sometimes works. I suggest the computer programming be adjusted to allow for operation. Otherwise, can you help me in any way - I do not trust this vehicle or the repair offered.

Winnebago factory installed Blind Spot Monitor System did not work since purchase, after local dealers failure to repair this and other defects, out of frustration we drove it 3000+ miles to the WGO factory repair center located in Forest City, IA. BSM was repair by WGO on invoice #02942R dated 3-13-23 under warranty. BSM module was replaced, 2A protective fuse installed and wiring connections corrected. 10 days later during return trip home BSM failed while driving in heavy snow. Contacted WGO factory service supervisor with failure details and was told we could either bring it back or take it to the local dealer again. Local dealer repaired per their repair order Doc #190571 dated 6-23-23. After being advised it was repaired we picked it up and it did not work from dealers lot. Emailed WGO supervisor, dealer service manager & service advisor. Local dealer has not responded as of 7-5-23, 10 days later. WGO supervisor responded to take it back and have the dealer work with our tech department. I had previously given the dealer all of the factory contact info I have and they are in-fact a WGO Flying W certified repair facility. This is a safety issue and a defective factory installed accessory that continues to be an unresolved issue. In researching I found on Facebook under the group- Winnebago Owners & Wannabes a 5-19-2022 BSM failure survey in which 105 owners responded the following- 30% No Problems, 29% Stopped working after driving on wet roads, 7% Stopped working after driving in snow/salt, 24% Never worked, 1% disconnected because of annoyance, 9% Combined, stopped working after other or works intermittently. I did not respond but would have been in the Never has worked section. This and all the online chatter would seem to indicate a high rate of units either not working at delivery or failing sometime after deliver. This is a Voyager System integrated into a Ford Transit chassis by Winnebago. I would like to see these systems correctly repaired

The "basement" storage compartment doors keep popping open. The RV has sic such compartments. I Drove from Maryland (the state of my residence) to Forest City to Iowa to address one of the doors (Propane compartment). The manufacturer fixed that issue free of charge. A few days later (today) while driving, the door to the compartment behind the Propane one popped open. By the time I realized it I had hit a couple of traffic cones. This was on I-90W in South Dakota west of Spearfish where there is construction work and cones are used to divide the two lane highway. When I got out of the vehicle to try to close it, I noticed that the latches do not engage property. Now there is also a dent at the corner of the compartment door and the paint is damaged.

BSM failed within 2 months of delivery. Was replaced by Winnebago only to fail again. Intermittently gives false readings and does not accurately sense vehicle’s in the blind spot.

The contact owns a 2020 Winnebago View on a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The contact stated while driving at highway speeds, the front exterior entrance door window became partially detached to from the door. The contact stated that the window was made of a plastic material and was glued to the door. The window was temporarily secured to the door using tape. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 24,000.

These wiper blades fell off in rain when used due to the fact that the tab locking them into place is insufficient to keep it locked in place, I have installed 4 different blades, and all fell off. This is an extreme hazard when driving at highway speeds.

The blind spot monitors on the Ekko suddenly failed. The system provides no warning, any longer, of approaching, or passing vehicles. I belong to an Ekko users group and have found from other owners that this is a common problem with these vehicles. The BSM's suddenly cease to operate and continue to break down, even after being "fixed" by dealers.
