Example complaints
Equipment: “Letter regarding 2003 Fleetwood Prowler. Consumer had problems with the power converter, it failed twice. The dealer was contacted and they gave the consumer a replacement part. The original unit was a 45 amp but the replacement was a 35 amp. The converter went out again and the dealership suggested that the consumer use a 55 amp unit. The consumer is concerned whether or not the increase of amperage will create chances of fire. One other problem was the wood panel on the refrigerator fell off.”
NHTSA complaint #10051783, filed 2003-12Body and structure: “2003 Fleetwood Prowler lite 25y travel trailer. The left rear spring bracket broke away from frame. When I discovered it it was still holding at one edge. If I had not spotted it, it certainly would have broken off leaving the rear trailer axle loose on the left side. This would have caused severe control problems and probably a crash. This trailer is less than 2 yrs. Old but the frame already shows heavy rust. The break occured at a weld joint and it appears to have been improperly welded.”
