NHTSA Complaint #10400704 — 2011 FLEETWOOD STORM

WINDSHIELD WIPER CLEANING AREA LEAVE A LARGE UNTOUCHED AREA 12-14 INCHES BETWEEN THE BLADES; DURING HEAVY RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS. IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN NOT SEE THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF HWY. AND HAVE DIFFICULTLY SEEING THE ROAD AS I DRIVE AROUND RIGHTHAND TURNS. THE CLEAN AREA HEIGHT IS ONLY BARELY EYE LEVEL(I'M 5' 4") WHICH MAKES SEEING SIGNAL LIGHTS DIFFICULT. I FEEL THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I CANNOT SEE THE WHOLE ROAD WHEN I DRIVE IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. O'CONNOR'S RV (MY RV DEALER) IN CHILLIWACK,B.C.,CANADA, HAS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, FLEETWOOD; THEIR REPLY WAS THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL BE CORRECTED ON THEIR 2012 MODELS. THIS CHANGE ON NEXT YEAR MODEL DOES NOT HELP CORRECT MY PROBLEM OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A 2011 MODEL, LEAVING US WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. I AM HOPING THAT YOU ARE ABLE HELP ME CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
