FLEETWOOD TIOGA CLASS "C" MOTOR HOME, FUEL LINE PROBLEM, REPAIRED.

I WAS TRAVELING ON MY SECOND TRIP AFTER PURCHASING A 1998 TIOGA FLEETWOOD CLASS C MOTORHOME. HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY THE REAR RIGHT INSIDE DUAL TIRE EXPLODED AND BLEW OUT MY STORAGE COMPARTMENT, BROKE MY STEP, SEVERED THE PROPANE LINE AND BLEW OFF AND TWISTED THE TAIL PIPE. CONTENTS OF THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT WAS DEPOSITED OVER THE HIGHWAY ON !-5 JUST SOUTH OF LONGVIEW, WA. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT. WHILE TRAVELING ON OUR FIRST TRIP TO CALIFORNIA I HAD A BLOWOUT OF THE LEFT INSIDE DUAL TIRE. THIS WAS JUST A MONTH AGO. SAME THING, BUT NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO REPLACE ALL OTHER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE AT A…

NUMEROUS REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE VIBRATION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT, TIRES AND A MORRIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR A FEW HOURS, APPLIED BRAKES AND VEHICLE SHOOK BADLY. BRAKING DISTANCE WAS TOO LONG, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP VEHICLE. TO NUMEROUS DEALERS ABOUT 10- 12 TIMES. DEALER REPLACED ROTORS ONCE, AND SAID THEY WERE A NEWLY DESIGNED PART. BUT, CONSUMER VERIFIED IT WAS THE SAME OLD PART. MOST OF THE MILES ON VEHICLE WERE FROM TAKING IT TO DEALERS. DEALER WILKINS IN HORNELL,NY EVEN TOLD CONSUMER, NOT TO BOTHER WITH LEMON LAW, YOU WOULD BE NO 13, I WON THEM ALL. A HEAD MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP TOLD CONSUMER NOT TO USE VEHICLE, NEITHER FORD NOR FLEETWOOD WAS WILLING TO REMEDY PROBLEM. CONSUMER BELIEVED ROTORS WERE TOO THIN, AND WHEN THEY GET HOT THEY WARP. *AK
