2004: “A few years ago I began noticing that the passenger side dual pane windows were looking sort of smoky or foggy looking. Even though I've tried cleaning them over and over again the situation has continued to worsen so much that I am now having a hard time seeing to turn and switch lanes safely. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.”
NHTSA complaint #10430360, filed 2011-10, 10,000 miles1991: “My rv lost brakes and power steering because of a brake actuator failure. I took it to the rv in for repair and I was told there was no replacement part. They told me, the only way they could get to the brakes and power steering, was to by-pass the brake actuator. Once they did that, the park feature no longer worked. I believe this may be a safety problem and chevrolet corporation should be responsible for correcting it. ...updated 10/22/14”

When we stopped for fuel walking around the motorhome I saw that the head light assembly was missing from the passenger side of my 37a 2003 Pace Arrow that has all of 27,000 miles on it. I called Fleetwood about the problem and they said they have not encountered anything like that and there was no recall on the coach. …”
