Example complaints

Engine cooling: “Please note the Winnebago motorhome is on a 1999 ford super duty f chassis with a 6.8l v-10 engine. In a moderate to heavy rain the air filter becomes saturated with water causing the engine to run rough or stall. I have had the engine stall on a busy interstate highway going 60 MPH. On several other occassions, I have had the engine start to run rough and cut out but was able to get off the highway before it stalled. Ford acknowledged the problem to me in the fall of 1998 and said a fix would be available before the end of 1998. As of sept, 2000, no fix is available. …”

NHTSA complaint #730425, filed 2000-09

Brakes: “Parking brake engaged while in motion. Switch failed on auto park brake system, causing loss of hydraulic fluid and lockup. Luckily was moving slowly to parking area, could have been a real problem because we had been traveling on a narrow two lane highway with zero shoulder.”

Electrical system: “While driving electrical system suddenly shutdown. There were no power steering or power brakes when this happened.

Vehicle taken to dealer but the problem could not be fixed and still exists.”
