2005 Fleetwood Expedition Body and structure Problems

“While driving my Fleetwood motorhome, I noticed an electrical odor. I looked toward the back of the coach and the rear bedroom was full of smoke. When I finally got the coach to a service center, it was determined that the exhaust system had a hole in it near the engine. The coach only had 32000 miles. The heat from the engine through the exhaust heated the electrical control box that is immediately adjacent to the engine, the coating on the wiring melted and that resulted in an electrical fire. I feel that there is a major design flaw that could result in bodily injury or death.”

“The contact owns a 2005 Fleetwood Expedition diesel rv. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact noticed that the seals on the three windows on the driver side had failed causing air to seep into the vehicle through the windows. The contact stated that all the windows in the vehicle had the same failure except for the windshield. This also caused the window panes to become foggy and turn blue, making visibility difficult for the contact. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. …”

“Leading up to the failure unknown. All the double pane windows have separated allowing moisture to form , causing a cloudy look and difficult to see the outside. This distortion is a safety issue and hazardous, especially trying to see out the drivers side window . Contacted the manufacture and was told they would not replace the windows.”
