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.

TL*CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ALLEGRO BAY MOTOR HOME. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND STOPPING AT A REST AREA, THE CONTACT SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. HE ATTEMPTED TO FIND THE LOCATION OF THE BURNING ODOR AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL; HOWEVER, AFTER RE-ENTERING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE CRACKED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ABS SENSOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SENSORS WERE MELTING TO THE FRAME WHICH CAUSED THE ABS LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE ABS SENSOR AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING REIMBURSEMENT AND THE CLAIM WAS DENIED SINCE THE CALIPERS WERE BEING REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 0 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,795.

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE HEADLIGHTS ON HIS 2005 TIFFIN ALEGRO MOTOR HOME WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE PROPERLY. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON THE LOW BEAMS DID NOT STAY ON AS WELL. HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INDICATED THE BULBS WERE BEING REPLACED WITH DIFFERENT BULBS BOUGHT AT A LOCAL STORE. THE CONTACT DID NOT THINK THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 12/27/05. *JB
