Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “While driving in heavy rain at highway speed my wipers went all the way to the driver's side of the windshield, and stopped there. Thor once replaced them but about a year later the new wiper assembly did the same thing under the same conditions. Through online forums I know that several others with the same model motor home have experienced the same occurrence. I can supply their names.”
NHTSA complaint #10909412, filed 2016-09, 36,000 milesBrakes: “My wife and I took delivery of our thor rv at 7pm on 12/05/14 without the benefit of ever being allowed to test drive the rv. Many excuses by camping world. Left dealer and drove 300 years on nearby surface road and braked to join entrance ramp to interstate 75. Brakes failed because 3 pound, rigid 4 foot vinyl-clad, wooden frame covering had dislodged from the electric overhead bunk frame and dropped to the driver's floor behind brake and gas pedals. Could not slow coach from 35mph but forced to the shoulder of road under overhead interstate exchange. …”
NHTSA complaint #11100686, filed 2018-06, 1,344 milesLatches, locks and linkages: “The contact owns a 2013 thor Challenger 37k. While inside the rv, the contact attempted to open the door; however, the door failed to unlock. The contact had to drive the rv to the dealer (exit 1 rv, fairhaven, vermont) where the door was removed in order for the contact to exit the rv. The dealer removed the latch lock from the door of the rv; however, they did not have a replacement for the door latch at that time. The rv was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. The VIN was unknown.”
