THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE WINDOWS ON THE COACH FOG UP AND IT IS INSULATED GLASS AND IT IS BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF GLASS AND YOU CAN NOT SEE THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS . FLEETWOOD HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THEY COMPLAINED TO HI WAY MAGAZINE. I HAVE HAD THE RIGHT DOOR GLASS REPLACED BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT SEE OUT OF IT AND IT WOULD NOT CLEAR UP UNLESS IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF COACH AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GET THE SAME ANSWER FROM FLEETWOOD AS I HAVE . IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN NOT SEE YOU REAR VIEW MIRRORS I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*CW

I HAVE A 2004 FLEETWOOD REVOLUTION 38B MOTORHOME WHICH HAS SE-GI WINDOWS. THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW HAS FOGGED UP AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF. IT IS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. NEITHER FLEETWOOD NOR SE-GI IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW. THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURERS WHO USE THESE WINDOWS AND THE PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD.

ODI #10139137

Incident: July 13, 2005 · Filed: October 9, 2005

WE HAVE A 04 REVOLUTION MOTORHOME ON A FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS WITH AIR BRAKES. WITH ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP AT ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR AND AFTER THAT THE MOTORHOME DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO STOP. FREIGHTLINER INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE GLAZED. I TRIED TO TELL THEM I WAS AN OVERT THE ROAD TRUCK DRIVER AND HAVE TRAVELED OVER MOST MOUNTAIN PASSES. I HAVE NEVER GLAZED BRAKES BEFORE. I JUST FELT YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS INFORMATION IN CASE OTHER HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL IT IS POSSIBLE TO GLAZE BRAKES FROM ONE PANIC STOP. UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. *NM

Fuel System, Gasoline

ODI #10137218

Incident: April 3, 2005 · Filed: September 21, 2005

THIS A FLEETWOOD RV,THE PROBLEM IS IT WILL NOT TAKE FUEL FROM A NORMALLY USED FUEL NOZZLE FOUND AT TRUCK STOPS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FILL THE MOTOR HOME WITH FUEL, IS TO REMOVE BOTH FILLER CAPS (ONE ON EACH SIDE) WHICH WILL ALLOW FUEL TO GO IN WITH OUT OVER FLOWING ONTO THE PAVEMENT. BUT BE CAUSE BOTH FILLERS ARE OPEN FUEL ALWAYS RUNS OUT BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. FLEETWOOD ADVISED ME THAT MY RV WAS DESIGNED TO BE FILLED AT NORMAL GAS STATIONS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THAT OF COURSE MAKES LITTLE SENSE. THIS IS A 110 GALLON TANK. THIS MAY NOT SOUND LIKE A BIG DEAL BUT BELIEVE ME IT IS. *JB
