[BOB J.] I bought a 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision motorhome on 8/28/1999. It has been a nightmare since it was received. I have documentation from "day one" that proves that it has been brought to the attention of Fleetwood the SERIOUS and DANGEROUS DEFECTS in this coach. When it was delivered it had a lean of the body towards the passenger side front corner of no less than 2 3/4 inches. The tires on the front of the coach (GOODYEAR) were so out of round that the Goodyear tire dealer of 30 years was in disbelief that they were even rolling. The rear tires were never checked! Just the above stated problems are enough to make this 20,000 pound monstrosity a rolling death trap !!!
The coach has also had a host of other problems such as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the bed room from the generator compartment! The dealer can't find the problem so does that mean that I am to take the coach back and use it until it KILLS SOMEONE?? Other problems are a drivers door that is so hard to close that panels on the inside of the coach have started falling off! The window day-night blinds have been replaced no less than four times because they will not fold up. This is just a few of the problems that I have encountered with this motorhome. The rest of the defects list covers over 50 different items.
The way that these problems have been handled, as of this date are as follows. It has been their policy to either not to fix it, deny the problem exists, sidestep it (IE.not our problem), or just flat a** ignore it!! And if I hear "we can adjust it" just one more time I will scream.This coach has been at the dealer's repair shop over 5 months this time and nearly 8 months total.........
Please forward this to everyone on your mailing list and encourage them to pass it on so that somewhere down the line someone will not be the VICTIM of a 120,000.00 dollar mistake !!!!!! But even as I suffer, it is my sincere hope that this helps to keep another consumer from falling victim to the corporate jaws of Fleetwood. Did I mention that I'm also 100% DISABLED?
