WHILE DRIVING THE DASH WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES. WHEN I CHECKED ALL THE SCREWS SHEARED OFF AND BECAME FREE FROM THE BODY AND WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WALL IS COMING APART FROM THE FLOOR OF THE RV. HAD THIS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE FLOOR CAN FALL ONTO THE ROAD. WE CAN SEE THE ROAD FROM BETWEEN THE WALL AND FLOOR. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO FLEETWOOD AND HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU AS WELL WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OVER THIS. AND FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY FLEETWOOD NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY FLOOR SEPARATING FROM THE WALL ABOUT A 1/4 OR MORE.I CAN SEE DAYLIGHT FROM THE ROAD. AFTER FIXING THE SHEARED OFF SCREWS ALL 3 OF THEM ON THE ANGLE PIECE BY THE FIRE WALL MY DASH IS STILL MOVING. FLEETWOOD PUT 3 SCREWS INON BOTH SIDES. I REALLY THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THE DASH FELL 2 INCHES WHEN THEY SHEARED OFF. NOW NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE SEPARATION OF THE FLOOR FROM THE WALL THEY SAY GO TO A BODY SHOP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FLEETWOOD WITH YOUR POOR WORKMANSHIP BUT I'M SURE YOU DON'T MIND JUST THE MONEY.PLEASE HELP HOW I CAN GET THIS FIXED
