“New 2021 Newmar Bay Star, which has a 2020 ford f53 chassis. While driving on the freeway the service advancetrac warning appeared on dash along with amber warning light. This disables traction control system including cruise control, hill assist and maybe ABS. Problem has yet to be diagnosed/resolved.”
NHTSA complaint #11415469, filed 2021-05, 2,600 miles“It all started with the advance traction control. Driving down the highway with wind gust disabilies the cruise control and then the ABS. This continued to happen. Your have to pull over and turn off the rv to reset the ABS. On the long trip we were pulling over about every 10 to 15 minutes to reset the system. We took our ford v8 rv into shop for repair. After having the repair done. We took a trip and immediately it happened again. It was not fixed. We were told this problem is not fixable from ford after spending $581 for nothing. And told it was not under warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #11443434, filed 2021-12“Anti-Skid light on, Hill Start Assist Not Available Light on and Cruise Control inoperable. Come to a stop, turn engine off. Restart engine, Anti-Skid light still on, drive away and within 100 yards Skid light will turn off and cruise control will work. Within 5 miles Anti- Skid light back on and cruise control cuts out. Repeat procedure again. Same results. At times, no problem for 150 miles. At times, light will not shut off. This is a serious problem as anti lock braking might be affected in wet conditions, also no cruise control and no Anti skid available.”
