NHTSA Complaint #10548967 — 2011 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURER

THE FULL WALL SLIDE ON MY MOTOR HOME RETRACTED WITHOUT ANY INPUT. I PUSHED THE EXTEND BUTTON AND IT FULLY EXTENDED. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES IT FULLY RETRACTED WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INPUT. THEN AFTER SITTING WITH THE SYSTEM TURNED OFF FOR A FEW DAYS, I TURNED IT ON AND WAITED TO SEE IF IT WOULD RETRACT. NOTHING HAPPENED SO AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES I PRESSED THE RETRACT BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER 3 MINUTES WHILE LEANING ON THE GALLEY CABINET IT AGAIN BEGAN TO RETRACT ON ITS OWN. THIS SLIDE IS OVER 27 FEET LONG AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE BODILY HARM AS IT RETRACTS INTO THE MAIN CABIN. THERE IS A WARNING LABEL ON THE CONTROL PANEL STATING THAT FACT. TO HAVE THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION IN THIS MANNER REALLY IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO INSURE NO ONE GET HURT. *TR UPDATED 03/25/14*LJ
