Example complaints

Exterior lighting: “Digital dash does not dim sufficiently at night. The dash is so bright that the reflected light from the dash bounces off the driver and back on the windshield which causes a glare that makes it difficult to see through the windshield. I have placed a dark film over the display for night driving after a close call at a intersection in arizona. Stopped at a four way stop with two lanes in all direction and very little outside street lighting. As I made a left turn the glare completely blocked the lanes I was turning into. …”

NHTSA complaint #11321526, filed 2020-04, 4,000 miles

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Dual Paine Window glass separating on Exterior Windows. Safety Hazard if the outside glass were to come off while traveling. Hehr is the manufacturer that Newmar used for the windows. Newmar is stating the Windows are not covered as the Vehicle is out of warranty. Reviewing many RV Forums it is evident that this problem with Hehr windows on Newmar Class A Motorhome is a common problem.”

NHTSA complaint #11507944, filed 2023-02

Brakes: “For the 3rd or 4th time, while driving on a straight stretch on the interstate at approximately 70 MPH with cruise control enabled, clear skies, no rain, the collision detection system came on for a second or two, without anything in front of the vehicle. The system slammed on the brakes hard enough to throw us forward into our seatbelts, seemed to lock tires, and disengaged cruise. If the cars behind me had been closer it was enough of a brake that it could have caused cars to swerve or also slam on their brakes to avoid me. …”

Electrical system: “RV was included in 20V-404. DTNA tested my vehicle on 7/29/2019 and said it did not need a PDM. Received additional info last year saying a new campaign will be replacing all PDM's in the original group regardless of test results. I have inquired several times with the local Freightliner center and the service telephone line and am told no recall is listed. My 2018 Newaire currently has no brake lights, turn signals or parking lights in the rear. In addition the AC compressor clutch does not engage. …”
