2007 Itasca Suncruiser Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Itasca Suncruiser, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WINDSHIELD LEAKING DUE TO THE METAL FRAMEWORK THE WINDSHIELDS WERE ATTACHED TO WAS RUSTED AND THE GLASS TO METAL SEAL FAILED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IN A RAIN STORM THE WINDSHIELDS COULD FAIL AND FALL OUT CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. *TR

NHTSA ID 10479258 · filed Oct 8, 2012

IN 2009, WE DISCOVERED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ONTO THE DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY APPLIED SILICONE AND APPARENTLY STOPPED THE LEAK TEMPORARILY. NOW AGAIN, IN 2012 THE WINDSHIELD HAS STARTED LEAKING AGAIN AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FRAME THE WINDSHIELD SETS IN IS RUSTED. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING, THAT IF THIS IS NOT FIXED THE WINDSHIELD COULD POP OUT AND RESULT IN AN INCIDENT THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IN ADDITION, MANY OWNERS OF EITHER WINNEBAGO'S OR ITASCA'S (MADE BY WINNEBAGO) INDICATE THAT RUST IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE FRAMES THAT THE WINDSHIELD SETS IN ON WINNEBAGO'S MOTORHOMES. *TR

HEATILATOR ELECTRIC FIREPLACE INSERT ELECTRONIC BOARD AND WIRES SHORTED OUT AND BURNED. WE WERE PARKED IN A CAMPSITE AND LUCKILY SITTING THERE AS SPARKS FLEW PLUS WIRES SMOKING. I UNPLUGGED UNIT SO NOTHING ELSE WOULD BURN. IT DID NOT THROW A FUSE OR BREAKER. WIRES WERE JUST HANGING FROM HEATING UNIT. *JS

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.
