WORKHORSE Complaints

WINNEBAGO'S FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAL WINDSHIELD TO FRAME HAS CAUSED CORROSION AND RUST OVER TIME WHICH HAS CAUSED FRONT WINDSHIELD BREAKAGE. THE RUST HAS ALLOWED THE WINDSHIELD TO SHIFT AND BREAK, THUS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR TWICE. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY JUST GO TO THE FLOOR SOMETIMES. TODAY I WAS DRIVING MOSTLY ON HIGHWAYS THEN I GOT OFF AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THEN I SAW SMOKE SO I STOPPED AND LOOKED AND THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE BRAKES AREA ON MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE. THERE WAS FLAMES SHOOTING UP 12 INCHES. AFTER DISTINGUISHING THE FIRE AND LETTING THE WHEEL COOL OFF I TOOK THE TIRE OFF TO INSPECT IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ABS SENSOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. *TR

1) THE MANUFACTURE, WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, EQUIPPED THE DRIVER "COCKPIT" OF THE VEHICLE WITH THERMOPANE WINDOWS WITH AN IDENTIFIED WEAKNESS. THE SEALS IN THE WINDOWS ARE INADEQUATE TO MAINTAIN SEAL INTEGRITY, THUS ALLOWING AIR INFILTRATION. SAID AIR INFILTRATION CAUSED FOGGING OF THE GLASS, AND AN ACCUMULATION OF CONDENSATION WITHIN THE GLASS. THE FRONT "COCKPIT" WINDOWS ON BOTH SIDES BECAME SO FOGGED OVER AND DIRTY IN BETWEEN THE WINDOWS, THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT. THIS WAS A PARTICULAR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PASSING. THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR TO SAFELY PULL BACK INTO THE DRIVING LANE. NOR COULD THE MIRRORS BE USED WHILE DRIVING OR IN REVERSE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE SMALL "COCKPIT" WINDOWS WAS TO THE TUNE OF $500 PER WINDOW. ALSO, REPLACEMENT DOES NOT EQUAL ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE SO NOW THE WINDOWS "WHISTLE" WITH CERTAIN WIND DIRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS QUITE ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO WHILE DRIVING. LG
