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.

THIS UNIT WAS MADE WITH AXLES THAT WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE UNITS SIZE. THE AXLES WERE RATED AT 5200# EACH AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 6000# S. WE HAVE A GVWR OF 13500#. OUR UNIT WEIGHTED 13320#S PRPOERLY LOADED, BUT THE AXLE WEIGHT WAS 10480#S WHICH IS 80# OVER AWR. THE COMPANY ( MONACO COACH) MADE US PAY $ 495.39 TO INSTALL 6,000# AXLES IN THIS UNIT TO MAKE IT SAFE. I BELIEVE ALL MODELS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME UP DATE WITH NO COST TO THE OWNERS,AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR EXPENCES. WE HAVE ALL OF THE WEIGHT SHEETS AND LETTERS AND ETC. WE CAN SEND TO YOU. I WOULD AISO BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO APPEAR BEFORE A HEARING ON THIS MATTER.
