Example complaints

Other or unknown: “Since june, 2016, my brand new Jayco Precept 31ul motorhome has been at the manteca rv dealership while multiple issues are being addressed. When driving it, the rv constantly wandered on the road lane, requiring constant correction to keep it tracking in a straight line. The dangerous problem with steering was referred to an alignment shop in manteca. The recommended fix was repair of the cambers. This has resulted in the steering wheel now out of place. This steering wheel problem was discussed ford, the manufacturer of the chassis, as Jayco felt ford should fix it. …”
