NHTSA Complaint #10401107 — 2006 HOLIDAY RAMBLER NEPTUNE

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 HOLIDAY RAMBLER MOTORHOME. THE ISSUE IS THE REAR TRAILING ARMS IN THE CHASSIS. MONACO,LLC WHO WAS & NOW IS AGAIN THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HOLIDAY RAMBLER PUT AN UNDERSIZED TRAILING ARM ON THOUSANDS OF MH RANGING FROM 2002-2009. WE BOUGHT THIS MH FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER & WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE & ASKED HIM WHY HE NEVER CHANGED THEM, HE SAID HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE & DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE, NOR HAD HE MOVED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE MH. NOW THAT MONACO IS SO CALLED OUT OF BUSINESS BUT BACK IN BUSINESS UNDER DIFFERENT OWNERS THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECALL. THIS IS A $3000.00 MISTAKE BY MONACO, NOT TO MENTION A DEADLY DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. THESE ARMS WILL CRACK/BREAK & SHIFT THE REAR WHEELS OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE MH HAVING IT FISHTAIL ALL OVER THE ROAD. NOT TO MENTION IF EVERYONE SURVIVES IT, THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE THAT IT WILL CAUSE TO THE MH. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING SO SEVERE AS THIS ON A UNIT THAT IS AS BIG OR BIGGER THAN A CITY BUS, THAT SOMEONE IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT COMPANIES THAT MFG CARS, PLANES, TRAINS, BUSES, MH, ETC ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE INSURANCE IN PLACE TO COVER SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ONE IN THE EVENT THEY GO UNDER. HOW CONVENIENT THAT WAS TO HAVE ALL THESE 1000'S OF MH IN DEADLY SITUATIONS AND THEN GO BK. THE SUPPOSEDLY PUT OUT THE RECALL IN 09 I BELIEVE, THE SAME YEAR THEY DID THE BK. THE SAD PART IS THAT MANY OF THESE MH OWNERS, LIVE IN THEIR MH. THEY ARE TRAPPED. THIS SETS A BAD PRECEDENCE. GO IN BUSINESS, WHEN TIMES ARE ROUGH, MFG GARBAGE, MAKE BIG BUCKS ON IT, SEND OUT A WARNING TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN BEFORE GETTING CAUGHT AND THEN BK THE COMPANY AND WALK AWAY WITH YOUR BIG PROFITS. YOU ASK IF REPORTED TO POLICE, CRASH ETC. FOR ME, THERE HAS NOT BEEN YET. BUT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD CRASH, DAMAGE AND OTHER ISSUES HAPPEN FROM THESE BREAKING. EACH YEAR I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE. *TR
