Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 01V163000 IS WRONG!- REPLACING BOLTS IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO JAMES HUGHES PROFFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE FORENSIC SERVICE IS THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS NOT TO FORD SPECIFICATIONS IN LENGTH AND ANGLES THAT IS WHY THE BOLTS BREAK AND SNAP. CHANGING THE BOLTS WON'T PREVENT A FUTURE ACCIDENT -IT JUST PROLONGS IT FOR A WHILE. LETTING REXHALL SIMPLY REPLACE BOLTS AND NOT DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEM PUTS RV PEOPLE AND OTHER INNOCENT FOLKS ON THE ROAD IN JEOPARDY. NEWS FLASH FOR RV OWNERS- WHEN REXHALL EXTENDS A COACH "CHOPS THE FRAME AND EXTENDS IT" IT VOIDS THE FORD CHASSIS WARRENTY IN COURT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SO NOW THERE ARE 823 REXHALL VEHICLES RECALLED BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND ALL YOU MADE THEM DO WAS CHANGE 4 BOLTS. A REXHALL OWNER IN PA GOT IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF YEAR AND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS GOING FASTER GOT A DRIVESHAFT COME UP THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS OF HIS MOTORHOME. REXHALL OWNERS BEWARE- THOSE BOLTS WILL STILL SNAP - CHECK YOUR DRIVELINE SPECIFICATIONS AND SEE IF IT IS NOT 3 INCHES TOO LONG LIKE MIND WAS- I SPENT 2 YEARS IN COURT FIGHTING REXHALL. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES FOR SAFE DRIVING. 408/296-1985 FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO TALK TO ME.
