What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
First I noticed the bedroom window fogging up. Service folks told me the seal was broken, and only option was to replace it. I have an extended warranty, but windows apparently are not covered. They estimated $800 to fix window. I decided I could live with it.
Thereafter it appeared that during the cold period to include rain it was the early spring of 2007 when we noticed the windows around the corners begun to cloud just slightly around the driver's side window. The seal was then checked and service was indicated that it was good.
The dual pane windows are obstructed by a gaseous fog due to the failure of the seal between the glass. I would accept that one, possibly two dual pane windows may lose their seal and fog over time but every window on this vehicle is fogged to the point of making it unsafe to drive.
All of my stationary windows are "fogging up" which is a nuisance in itself. However, my biggest concern is the driver's side window. It is so foggy I'm unable to clearly see my side rearview mirror. Both times I've contacted fleetwood regarding this issue I was told there's nothing they can do about it.
