NHTSA Complaint #10134192 — 2001 FLEETWOOD EXPEDITION

FRONT ENTRY DOOR PULLS OPEN AT TOP, AND CAUSES LATCH TO BE STRESSED AND MOVED, REQUIRING CONTINUOUS ADJUSTMENT. DOORS PULLS OPEN ENOUGH AT TOP THAT LIGHT CAN BE SEEN OUTSIDE, WHEN RAINING WATER COMES IN, ALSO CAUSING EXTREEMLY LOUD WIND/AIR NOISE INSIDE VEHICLE. WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT MAY CAUSE PRE-MATURE FAILURE ON THE DOOR LATCHING/LOCKING MECHNISM CAUSING THE DOOR TO SWING OPEN DURING OPERATION OF THE UNIT, AS WELL A INTEGRITY OF THE MOTORHOME. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MOTORHOME, AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX/REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT FLEETWOOD HAS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM IN OTHER/NEWER MODELS BY REPLACING THE DOOR WITH A DIFFERENT DESIGN. FLEETWOOD REFUSES TO OFFER ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS ON THE GROUND THAT NO RECALL AND OUT OF WARRANTY ISSUES, ALSO OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE ON ANY PAST REPAIRS OF THE UNIT PRIOR TO OUR OWNERSHIP. WE FEEL THAT AS CUSTOMERS WE SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER AND WARRANTY COMPANY LOGISTICS...
