TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HOLIDAY RAMBLER NEPTUNE RV. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT. THERE WAS A LOUD, UNUSUAL POP HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MOVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY AND WAS ASSISTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TRAILING ARM WAS BROKEN AND REAR DRIVER TRAILING ARM WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE TOWED DUE TO THE FAILURE AND WAS HAULED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE FACILITY WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH TRAILING ARMS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,000.
I HAVE A 2005 HOLIDAY RAMBLER NEPTUNE MADE BY MONACO. THE TRAILING ARMS WERE CRACKING. I HAD THEM REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE COMPANY IS NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNDER-ENGINEERED EQUIPMENT. IF THEY HAD BROKEN, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY RECALLED, BUT THE REPAIR WAS INEFFECTIVE. MONACO WAS BOUGHT BY NAVISTAR WHO ASSUMED NONE OF THE LIABILITIES. THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE ISSUE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
