NHTSA Complaint #11538897 — 2022 WINNEBAGO EKKO

the blind spot monitoring system has never worked correctly. Originally when a vehicle appeared in the left hand (driver side) blind spot, the right hand warning light (indicating vehicle in passenger side blind spot) would illuminate - then vice versa. A vehicle in the passenger side blind spot would result in the driver side warning light illuminating. This would cause the driver to think that there was a vehicle in a blind spot on the wrong side of the vehicle. if acted on the driver could maneuver in a way that would cause rather than avoid an accident. The dealer from whom I bought the vehicle (National Indoor RV Center of Lawrenceville GA) has tried twice without success to rectify the issue. The last time the unit stopped working completely (which is better than it working in reverse) On the owners facebook group failures of the blind spot monitoring system are a common occurence, as such I believe NHTSA should be informed. For me personally no actual accident occurred although shortly after taking delivery of the vehicle I did have a near miss.
