ODI #10217587

Incident: February 17, 2007 · Filed: February 10, 2008

UPON PURCHASE ON 2/17/2007, THE DASH LIGHT DIMMER SWITCH WOULD NOT DIM THE DASH LIGHTS. THE DASH LIGHTS WERE MODIFIED BY THE MOTOR HOME MANUFACTURER AND THEREFORE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, THIS ACCORDING TO WORKHORSE THE CHASSIS MANUFACTURER. I FILED THIS DEFECT IN A LETTER TO THE BUSINESS I PURCHASED THE MOTOR HOME FROM AND ALSO THE MANUFACTURER ON FEBRUARY 21, 2007. I HAVE TAKEN THE MOTOR HOME IN TWICE TO FIX THIS DEFECT AND NEITHER TIME WAS THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FIXED ON "BRIGHT" AND IS A HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING AS THE GLARE IS VERY STRONG MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. I NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER IN WRITING AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 10, 2007 AND DECEMBER 21, 2007 AND FEBRUARY 5, 2008 SENT AND ACKNOWLEDGED AS RECEIVED BY FEDEX. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT AUTHORIZE DIAGNOSTIC TIME REQUIRED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *TR
