Structure · at 9,000 miles · reported Aug 25, 2005

Front entry door pulls open at top, and causes latch to be stressed and moved, requiring continuous adjustment. Doors pulls open enough at top that light can be seen outside, when raining water comes in, also causing extreemly loud wind/air noise inside vehicle. We feel this is a safety issue, that may cause pre-mature failure on the door latching/locking mechnism causing the door to swing open during operation of the unit, as well a integrity of the motorhome. We have an extended warranty on the motorhome, and they refuse to fix/repair because they say that fleetwood has repaired the problem…

Suspension · reported May 24, 2002

Experiencing occasional problems with the front suspension, sometime it unexpectedly buck in an up and downward motion while traveling on freeway, so driver is compelled to reduce their speed immediately and almost stop before being able to commence moving again safely. Dealer and myself agree that larger shocks should be design to solve this problem.

Suspension · reported Jul 20, 2001

While driving, vehicle will not stay in the center of the road, it will drift to the right or left, consumer states in order to initiate a turn, he has to turn the wheel, then after a second or two it starts to turn, consumer states if he does not wait for a few seconds he will then over steer and have to jerk the vehicle back, consumer believes this happens because the weight of the engine is in the back, that forces the rear end out.*
