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.

“The 2023 Pleasure-Way Ontour 2.2 motorhome is built on a 2022 Ford Transit 350 HD chassis, VIN [XXX] . Four times while driving on secondary roads at a low rate of speed, or while stopped at an intersection, warning chimes and 6 different types of error messages are generated on the instrument cluster. These messages persist over a 10 to 30 minute period, and then the 12-inch LCD display and instrument cluster shut down. The engine continues to run, but there is a loss of Blind Spot Alert, Pre-Collision Assist, Cross-Traffic Alert, TPMS, HVAC function, turn signals, speedometer, cruise control and all other display functions. Upon turning off the ignition, there is no way to start it again. The only remedy is to disconnect the chassis battery for approximately 15 minutes and then reconnect it. At that point, the engine can be restarted and all errors are cleared from the screen. After a scan of codes from the OBD port, approximately 62 messages are found which are all loss of communication errors.” INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
