NHTSA Complaint #11631254 — 2022 GRAND DESIGN SOLITUDE

While trailering our 42 foot 5th wheel down [XXX] in Florida I looked out my sideview mirrors and found the forward aspect of our passenger side opening into traffic during travel. I have also had to add external straps to bay doors as they have opened up during travel. All of these items are available for inspection. I am trying to get the slide fixed today as it is an integral part of our living space, and we cannot travel with the slide inoperative. By having these items open up during travel there is danger to passing by vehicles, as well as those behind us during travel, as items or slide parts could fall out onto the road. As occupants, we are in danger due to forward focus on travel being interrupted and in the case of a slide moving out, there is a weight distribution change. There are components of the slides that have broken over past few months for reasons unknown. They have always functioned for us until this last road trip when we were caught off guard by the slide opening on its own accord during travel on freeway. The RV was inspected in March 2024 by an authorized dealer for other warranty repairs. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
