Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Drivers and passenger side windows fogged as well as window behind passenger and one over sink. Slowly I believe they will all fail. I made mike thompson rv aware of the problem on three different occasions, every time saying it is not covered under warranty. I am now out of warranty with no options but to replace at my own cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10396677, filed 2011-04, 15,000 miles“Fogged windows in my 2005 Fleetwood rv. Hard to see out the driver window and see side mirrors due to heavy glare from the fogging. 11 out of 12 windows are fogging in my 2005 Fleetwood Bounder 32w class-a motorhome. Se-gi windows.”
NHTSA complaint #10310369, filed 2010-02, 12,000 miles“Driver side thermal pane window and passenger side thermal pane window seals have failed resulting in fog between the window panes. With no way to clear these windows, critical rear/side vision is diminished since side view mirrors must be viewed through these fogged panes. This ongoing problem of diminished rear and side vision due to these failed thermal seals is a serious safety issue and may result in a crash.”
