Consumer Description

2007 FOREST RIVER WILDCAT 29 FOOT 2- SLIDES. LAST APRIL 6 CRACKS WERE FOUND IN THE FRAME RAILS WHILE SHACKLES WERE TEARING OUT FROM THE AXLE HANGER, TIRES WERE BALDING. THE AXLE HANGER SHACKLES FAILED WHILE IN OPERATION NEARLY CAUSING INJURY. LIPPERT WELDED PLATES ON THE FRAME, TIRES REPLACED AND NEW UPGRADED HANGERS INSTALLED. FOUR MONTHS HAVE PASSED, TIRES ARE BALD OR BALDING. FOREST RIVER TOOK TRAILER FOR 10 DAYS FOR REMEDY AND FOUND NOTHING. FOREST RIVER HAS REQUESTED TRAILER FOR ADDITIONAL DAYS (WEEKS) BEYOND WHAT THEY REQUESTED AND I DENIED. FOREST RIVER HAS HAD THE TRAILER, TWO OCCASIONS WITHOUT REMEDY. LIPPERT MADE NO REPORTS ON THIS FAILURE. CONSUMERS AND DEALERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF FRAME FAILURE. LIPPERT AND FOREST RIVER PLAYS THE CYA GAME. *TR
