“Our monaco Cayman rv's trailing arms broke. This caused extreme swerving at speeds over 40 and especially when the brakes were applied. We took it to a shop to be repaired and warned them not to drive it. They test drove it anyway, and I got a call that the technician thought he was going to die and was white as a sheet. They checked with monaco, who admitted to having problems with the trailing arms, but refused to cover the repair. They had a replacement trailing arm setup available for $1850 plus $150 shipping, so that tells us that they absolutely know of the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10339127, filed 2010-06, 23,000 miles“Noted an article in family motor coach mag concerning a possible failure mode of the monaco trailing arm assembly for a 4 airbag connection to the rear axle. Took it to brazel's in centralia, wa. For inspection. They found cracks in both trailing arms. Had them replaced for reengineered ones that were manufactured by source mfg. My question is how does monaco get by with not covering a design flaw that could have catastrophic effects if I had waited until it ultimately failed. Monaco knew of the problem several years before my coach was manufactured ( mine is a 2005 Cayman. …”
NHTSA complaint #10300367, filed 2010-01, 9,500 miles“Driving westbound from suspension shop after new shock absorbers installed,and request for inspection on trailing arms that shop now denies the request. About 7-10 miles away from shop hit hard bump and trailing arm shifted down which turned whole rear sideways and almost lost control. This was a federal recall for monaco who now restrutured and assumes no liability along with mcbride spring and suspension at 1010 2nd st albuquerque, new mexico.”
