Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “My 2005 Fleetwood Excursion has dual insulated glass that has fogged up. I have replaced one of the windows because it was dangerous to drive. It was the window that I look through to see my rear view mirror. The manufacturer won't replace it because it is no longer under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10260640, filed 2009-03, 12,000 milesEngine cooling: “Improper installation of slide out seals on Fleetwood Excursion motor home. Warranty has since expired, but manufacturer refuses to pay for repair. Stated that it was my fault for not inspecting mounting screws, even though they cannot be seen from a normal viewpoint. Also claims it was neglect of care, yet I treat and lube slideout seals 3-4 times yearly. Improper installation has resulted in leaks/water damage to interior. Would like manufacturer to pay for seals and labor for replacing seals, I will pay for water damage repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10220377, filed 2008-03, 15,111 milesEquipment: “The slider on a four slider motorhome will not come in many times. I drive alone, and my safety is at risk if I can't pull in the sliders and leave. Three to four people have to lift and push and jerk in the slider. I can not use this rv because of fear and the slider does not fully close. Four or 5 times to dealer, their statement, they have no clue. Also in aaa motorhome magazine this is a major problem, Fleetwood is hiding from the public. I was stuck in mexico and montana away from all mechanical help, except those who we could gather up. …”
