“There was no incident. My hope is to report this before there is. My motorhome has windows which are fogging up very badly. The drivers side and passengers side windows get so foggy that it may be considered dangerous. I have talked with other motorhome owners who are facing the same issue. Please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #10689656, filed 2015-02, 48,000 miles“I have a 2005 Discovery motorhome manufactured by Fleetwood. The dual paned drivers side window which was manufactured by se gi has failed and is fogging up which is impacting visibility to the side view mirror. I am also stating to see similar failures on several of the stationary windows in the back of the motorhome. In my opinion these failures are premature.”
NHTSA complaint #10311465, filed 2010-02, 18,500 miles“I have a 2005 Fleetwood Discovery 39l class a motor home. Several of the windows on this coach are fogging up, and cannot be cleaned to clear up the haze. One of the worst window is the passenger side window. This makes vision thru the window poor, and I feel that it is a safety hazard. I have read that many other people have had similar problems with the same year/model as mine. Also it appears that Fleetwood is aware of these problems and has changed suppliers of windows for their vehicles as a result. This condition has been worsening for the last couple of years. …”
NHTSA complaint #10276292, filed 2009-07, 10,000 miles“Side windows are fogging up and cannot be cleaned. The worst is the drivers side windows and it is very difficult to see the mirrors which of course becomes very dangerous. Both the manufacturer and original suppliers (from reports by others) state this is past the warranty period. This is without a doubt a safety issue as the drivers sight is restricted.”
NHTSA complaint #10486152, filed 2012-11, 25,000 miles“Double pane windows are fogging up resulting in lack of visibility through the drivers side window. Difficult to see the rearview mirror and objects on the left side when turning. Fleetwood claims not covered by warranty even though numerous Discovery owners have had the same complaints.”
