“Frame not strong enough to support full GVWR. Result. Frame flexing excessively which can lead to frame failure and separation from the vehicle on the highway endangering everyone. Manufacturer has done their recommended fix on my rv but they have a history of ineffective repairs. So far my rv hasn’t been on the road enough since first repair to know if it will hold.”
NHTSA complaint #11602042, filed 2024-07“I am having the frame flex issues as well as others. I’m not getting anywhere with grand design. The doors come open when traveling if not strapped from the inside. Pin box on the hitch moves excessively, interior panels are moving in the front, middle and rear of the trailer.”
NHTSA complaint #11637760, filed 2025-01“Due to extreme frame flex, the welds in the front of my coach broke away from the metal. My understanding is that the only thing holding my 44' toy hauler on my truck was the interior and exterior skin of the coach. I was horrified to find that I was driving my coach under these dangerous conditions causing extreme risk to my family and those on the road. To be clear, this failure only showed itself with only minor symptoms to an untrained eye. After reading all the comments online, I realized this needs to be addressed for everyone concerned”
NHTSA complaint #11663662, filed 2025-05“We live and travel full time in a 2022 Grand Design Momentum model 376THS. Screws and bolts holding the front opposing schwintek slides are breaking or backing out of the slide frame every time we travel, the front floors are squeaking and getting worse, the front cap developed stress cracks and was repaired one year ago - they have now reappeared and there are several more stress cracks visible on the front cap, the front side storage doors are coming OPEN DURING travel, we have lost items on the road from these areas, they are always locked closed before we travel. …”
NHTSA complaint #11600080, filed 2024-07“I was towing my 5th wheel RV when I noticed doors I locked were swinging open. I noticed the rear toy hauler door first. The plastic screen door cover was missing and was unable to be found. A few miles later I noticed the front underbelly storage area on the passenger side was swinging open. Some power tools fell out and were unable to be found. A few hundred miles later the propane door unlatched and was swinging open. I closed and proceeded on route. My Lippert frame is flexing causing these locked doors to open mid travel, losing personal belonging in the middle of the interstate. …”
