2011 JAYCO EAGLE SUPER LITE Complaints
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH DEXTER AXLES AND IS A NEW UNIT. IT WAS DETERMINED THIS WEEK AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS OF REPORTING INCIDENTS TO LOCAL RV DEALERSHIP THAT ALL FOUR GREASE SEALS FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON NYS THRUWAY TRAVELING @ 60 MPH DURING SUMMER OF 2011. A SUDDEN STOP WAS NEEDED AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING FROM THE TRAILER. TOW VEHICLE IS A 08 CHEVY 2500HD. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES STOPPED ON THRUWAY DUE TO SHOULDER LANE AVAILABLE. OTHERWISE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE. 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 4/29/12 WHEN GOING DOWN A SMALL HILL. TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER SHOWED POWER TO BRAKES, HOWEVER, WHEN FULLY ENGAGED, THERE WAS NO BRAKES FROM TRAILER CAUSING BOTH TOW VEHICLE AND TRAILER TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND INTO INTERSECTION. LOCAL DEALER HAS STATED THEY HAVE NOT SEEN A GREASE SEAL FAILURE LIKE THIS IN ALL 4 DRUMS AT ONCE CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING. JAYCO IS COVERING REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, WHERE IS REASSURANCE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN?? *TR;

ATWOOD PROPANE RANGE HAS A MALFUNCTIONING OVEN PILOT LIGHT AND GOES OUT WHEN IN USE. I HAVE REPLACED THE PILOT LIGHT ASSY AT ATWOOD'S SUGGESTION AND IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I AM HESITANT TO USE THE RANGE FOR SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. I NOTE THERE WAS A RECALL SHORTLY AFTER MY OVEN WAS BUILT ON 05 27 2010 AND AM THINKING THE ORIGINAL RECALL MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPLETE. *JS;
