What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Consumer states that when fueling vehicle gas leaks from the filler neck assembly.
Also with the motor shut down there was no power steering either. On the highway this could have been fatal. In the city it just scaren the heck out of us. The configuration of the electric assist is a hazard in the situation!!! Dt
The metal attachment of the tag axle to the extended chassis frame has sheared, almost to the point where the axle could separate from the coach body.
