Most Recent Complaints
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ADMIRAL. THE MODEL WAS NOT LISTED IN THE DROP DOWN MENU AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE STATIONARY WINDOW CONTAINS MOISTURE IN BETWEEN THE GLASS. THE FAILURE PREVENTS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO SEE THE MIRROR. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE GLASS HAD A LEAK AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE SIZE AND # OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 26,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
MY 2002 HOLIDAY RAMBLER 5TH WHEEL IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT LT225/75R/16 "E" SERIES TIRES WHICH ARE DATE STAMPED FEBRUARY 2000. THESE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES TRAVEL. ON AUGUST 4TH 2005 ON A TRIP FROM BURLINGTON N.C. ABOUT TWENTY MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON I-85 I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON RIGHT REAR TRAILER TIRE . WE WERE FORTUNATE TO FIND AN AREA TO PULL OVER AND CHANGE TIRE. I REPLACED THIS TIRE AND FINISHED THE TRIP. AFTER A 300 MILE TRIP AND UPON ARRIVAL HOME I DISCOVERED A TREAD BULDGE ON RIGHT FRONT TRAILER TIRE AND REMOVED 2ND TIRE WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THE DEALER KNEW OF NO REPLACEMENT COMPENSATION. MY TIRE DEALER POINTED OUT THAT MY 2002 TRAILER HAD BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A 2000 YEAR TIRE AND SHOWED ME HOW TO READ DATE STAMP. AFTER INVESTIGATING RECALL REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT GOODYEAR SERIES "E" TIRES VIA INTERNET AND PERSONAL INTERVIEWS WITH FELLOW CAMPERS I CERTAINLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE SHORT OF REPLACING ALL TIRES. GOODYEAR RECALLED TIRES ON 15 PASSENGER VANS, ARE TRAVEL TRAILERS NOT A HAZARD WITH THESE SAME SERIES TIRES? I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GO ON RECORD TO SAY THAT TWO YEAR OLD TIRES (DATE STAMPED YR. 2000) DO NOT BELONG ON A CONSUMERS 2002 TRAVEL TRAILER. ALSO WITH A RECORD THAT THESE TIRES HAVE GOODYEAR SHOULD COMPENSATE CONSUMERS WITH SAFE REPLACEMENTS OR REIMBURSEMENTS. *JB
