Most Recent Complaints
THE UNDERCARRIAGE SIDE STORAGE ACCESS DOORS DO NOT REMAIN CLOSED EVEN WHEN LOCKED. OFTEN WHEN THE ROAD IS BUMPY OR ROUGH THE DOORS WILL FLY OPEN. RECENTLY WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH JACKSONVILLE FL ON I-95 THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FLEW OPEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE DURING HEAVY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CARS ON MY RIGHT HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND VEER TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE DOORS. HAVING TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET OF THE ROAD WITH THE DOORS OPEN WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT WITHOUT A SERIOUS INCIDENT. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH HE SAID HE DID BUT THE DOORS CONTINUE TO FLY OPEN. THIS AS BEEN RECURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE RV IN 2013.
