NHTSA Complaint #10222649 — 2004 DUTCHMEN TRAILER

I LOOKED OUT MY RIGHT MIRROR AND SPARKS WERE COMING OUT OF THE BACK RIGHT WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND TAKE THE EXIT IN FOREST LAKE, MN TO HIGHWAY 8. I QUICKLY STOPPED MY WIFE TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE WE HAD A FIRE. I CALLED COACH-NET AND THEY DISPATCHED A SERVICE TRUCK TO COME A INSTALL MY SPARE. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP BACK TO DULUTH. THE NEXT DAY, AUGUST 29TH. I TOOK THE CAMPER BACK TO BULLYANS FOR AN ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGE. WHEN BULLYAN?S WAS INSPECTING THE CAMPER FOR AN ESTIMATE THEY FOUND THIS THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE REFRIGERATOR GAS LINE AND THAT IF I HAD NOT TURNED IT OFF WE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD A FIRE. LATER THIS FALL THE CAMPER WAS TAKEN DOWN TO MANEY INTERNATIONAL. THE REAR AXLE WAS MANUFACTURED 1? OUT OF ALIGNMENT. DUTCHMAN TOLD BULLYAN THERE WERE DONE WITH THIS UNIT AND THAT THEY SHOULD CONTACT ALSO THE AXLE MANUFACTURE. THEY HAVE AGREED TO SEND A NEW AXLE WHICH HAS BEEN INSTALLED, BUT I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE LABOR FOR INSTALLING THE AXLE AND SHIPPING FOR THE RETURN THE AXLE TO SEE IF THEY WILL PAY ANY OF THE LABOR. ALSO HAS REFUSED TO PLAY FOR THE ALIGNMENT WHICH SHOWED THE AXLE TO BE OUT OF ALIGN 1?. BULLYAN ALSO ASKED THEM ABOUT ALIGNING THE NEW AXLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NECESSARY SINCE THEY ARE ALIGNED AT THE FACTORY! WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE THE CAMPER BACK TO MANEYS, BUT ALSO HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE FIRST ALIGNMENT OR THE ONE WE NEED NOW! I HAVE HAD TWENTY ?TWO (22) DIFFERENT TIRES ON THE FOUR WHEELS. THE RIGHT REAR AXLE WILL HAD FOUR DIFFERENT BACKING PLATE UNITS. IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. IT REALLY NEEDS IT AGAIN! I HAVE A TOTAL OF LESS THAT 14,000 MILES AND REPLACED THE BRAKE CONTROLLER, BUT WE STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AXLE AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR
