What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The brackets and bolts on the side walls moved 1 to 2 inches. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the vehicle might be dangerous to drive. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
Apparently, the house part of the rv separated from the chassis. The brackets on both sides of the rv chassis backed out which caused the bolts to break all the way back to the entry door.
On june 11, 2014 we took a trip our new fleetwood storm rv to nc, 850 miles from home. While driving there I noticed fumes coming in from the engine cover and front dash. There was hot air flowing in from the front dash and engine cover causing the driver's side to get extremely hot.
Engine would not start and none of the warning lamps, gauges, etc. Worked. Traffic was blocked for a couple of hours before ford had the coach towed to a safe location. The following day ford had the motorhome towed to a local repair shop, not the ford dealership.
The fog lights only work when the high beams are energized. When the low beams are on the fog lights do not come on. This is the opposite of any other vehicle I have owned or seen.
The contact was driving 50 mph when the vehicle began to shake violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but a clear diagnosis was not noted. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 350.
