NHTSA Complaint #10342102 — 2003 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN

WE PURCHASED A 2003 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN MOTORHOME, WITH A WORKHORSE P-30 CHASIS LAST YEAR. WE HAVE HAD THE MOTORHOME LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND HAVE PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE OF A MAJOR ISSUE. WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, OUR AUTO PARK LIGHT COMES ON, AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY AND WE ARE AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES, THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. WE HAVE HAD TO BE TOWED, HAD 2 VACATIONS RUINED, HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL AND PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSTICS. BOTH TIMES, IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THE RGS PRESSURE SWITCH AND THE RELAY SWITCH. WE WERE TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS, THAT THIS IS A PART THAT FAILS REGULARLY AND WERE TOLD TO KEEP ONE ON HAND AND SHOWN HOW TO REPLACE IT. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHY SHOULD I CARRY EXTRA PARTS, NOT FOR IF THE PART GOES, BUT FOR WHEN IT GOES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF. *TR
