NHTSA Complaint #11096965 — 2015 COACHMEN MIRADA

MY ISSUE IS WITH A 35' COACHMEN MOTORHOME THAT I PURCHASED IN 2015, ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE INDUSTRY WIDE INVOLVING ANY GASOLINE POWERED CLASS 'A' UNITS. I PERSONALLY AM AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHER MAKES, MODELS OF CLASS A'S WITH THIS FLAW. WHEN ENCOUNTERING A ROUGH ROAD, DIPS AND VALLEYS, AND PARTICULARLY WHEN CORNERING, THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE SWAY, LIST, L TO RT LEAN OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT .DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE 'LIST' IT CAN BE SCARY...I HAVE MEASURED AS MUCH AS A 25 DEGREE READING OF LIST WITH AN INCLINOMETER. THE INDUSTRY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, IT CAN'T BE OVERLOOKED IF THEY DRIVE THEIR OWN PRODUCT! THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AT THE FACTORY; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD RATHER LEAVE IT TO THE PURCHASER. 'ROADMASTER', 'SUMOSPRINGS' AND OTHER SUSPENSION ENHANCEMENT COMPANIES ARE DOING VERY WELL TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT AT A COST OF $1K AND UP. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS FLAW COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IF NOT IT SURELY MUST COME CLOSE.
