Consumer Description

On multiple occasions during travel, We have had cargo doors and the main entry door open when going down the road. We have been fortunate that we have noticed the door flying open, to where we can quickly stop before losing any cargo. Because these are cargo doors, we carry cargo in these compartments. When the door flies open, there is a huge risk of cargo flying out of the vehicle and creating a hazard for oncoming motorists (flying through the air or upon the roadway). We have adjusted the latches on these doors to no avail. we get them to where they work and hold fine, then will start coming open again. We believe based on other evidence (missing sidewall lag bolts, loose sidewall lag bolts, bent sidewall lag bolts, popping sounds when raising or lowering unit, broken slide mechanisms, excessive sawdust on the inside of the vehicle, doors on internal cabinets unable to be opened due to interference, millwork trim falling off) that there is a frame failure or suspension issue with this vehicle causing excessive flex. These issues pose a life safety risk to any person traveling on a roadway.
