NHTSA Complaint #10223241 — 2008 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BUS

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL FAIL ON A 2008 ALLEGRO BUS RV MADE BY TIFFIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION. THE BRACKETS INSIDE BREAK OFF AND THE WIPERS FALL DOWN. ON JUNE 4, 2007, I PURCHASED FROM AN RV DEALERSHIP IN KINGSTON, NEW YORK A NEW 2008 ALLEGRO BUS MADE BY TIFFIN. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE NEW RV THAT DAY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED AND STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. ONLY 8 HOURS LATER ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 5, 2007, I LEFT NEW YORK FOR HOME IN OHIO WITH THE NEW RV PURCHASED THE PREVIOUS DAY. DURING THE TRIP HOME, RAIN STARTED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RAN ABOUT 7 MINUTES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TIFFIN PICKED UP THE RV IN OHIO AND TOOK TO THEIR FACTORY IN ALABAMA TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, ALONG WITH OTHER DEFECTS, AND RETURNED IT BACK TO ME IN OHIO. THE TIFFIN DRIVER SAID HE HAD SEVERAL FAIL. AFTER THE RV WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS RAN ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE BREAKING AGAIN AND STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR
