NHTSA Complaint #10246865 — 2004 FLEETWOOD WILDERNESS

1. FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR STOPPED COOLING. AMMONIA SPEWED OUT OF THE REAR REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT. 2. FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED ONCE AND REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER NO LONGER COOLED SINCE THE REFRIGERATE WAS GONE. 3. IMMEDIATELY CALLED DOMETIC TO SEE IF THE REFRIGERATOR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS. DOMETIC INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 1 MONTH. A MONTH LATER, AT A LOCAL RV SHOW, I FOUND A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS A MEMBER OF THE RV REFRIGERATION NETWORK ASSOCIATION. ON APRIL 13, 2008, I DROVE 100+ MILES TO TAKE MY RV TO SHELBOURNE RV (423-629-2175 OR 423-290-8367) IN RINGGOLD, GEORGIA FOR REPAIR. JUST OVER 1 MONTH LATER I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP MY RV, AND DROVE BACK 100+ MILES TO PICK IT UP. THE REPAIR BILL (EXCLUDING GAS) WAS $760!! *TR
