This is accompanied by a thumping noise in the floor. There is a nhtsa recall# 02v237000. The vehicle has not been included in that recall due to the vin.
Michelin tires 235/80r-xrv tires...three blowouts, blow away a side panel of motorhome. No response from any manufacturer monaco and/or michelin. Only check your pressures. Well stopping at each and every rest area to check pressures and still experiencing blowouts. In one trip.
Consumer states that the air bags on the side blew while driving. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information. Nlm
Odometer & trip odometer are hard to read in daylight. An accident could occur as you have to take eyes of the road too long to try and read mileage.
The dealer never disclosed that the vehicle they purchased was a buy back through the lemon law, the vehicle was never repaired prior to the consumers purchasing it, the vehicle would stall wihout warning, the consumer requested that the dealer extend the warranty but they refused. Nlm
The vehicle shuts down without warning while driving in heavy rain, consumer feels that the cause is water soaking the engine air intake which is located at the bottom of the filter assembly near the roadway. * mjs
