THE FULL WALL SLIDE ON MY MOTOR HOME RETRACTED WITHOUT ANY INPUT. I PUSHED THE EXTEND BUTTON AND IT FULLY EXTENDED. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES IT FULLY RETRACTED WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INPUT. THEN AFTER SITTING WITH THE SYSTEM TURNED OFF FOR A FEW DAYS, I TURNED IT ON AND WAITED TO SEE IF IT WOULD RETRACT. NOTHING HAPPENED SO AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES I PRESSED THE RETRACT BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER 3 MINUTES WHILE LEANING ON THE GALLEY CABINET IT AGAIN BEGAN TO RETRACT ON ITS OWN. THIS SLIDE IS OVER 27 FEET LONG AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE BODILY HARM AS IT RETRACTS INTO THE MAIN CABIN. THERE IS A WARNING LABEL ON THE CONTROL PANEL STATING THAT FACT. TO HAVE THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION IN THIS MANNER REALLY IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO INSURE NO ONE GET HURT. *TR UPDATED 03/25/14*LJ

2 OF 4 BOLTS SECURING REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR HAVE WORKED LOOSE. THIS ALLOWS THE MOTOR HOME TO SWAY EXCESSIVELY DURING WIND GUST, OR WHEN BEING PASSED BY LARGER TRUCKS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSE OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE F53 CHASSIS, BASED ON CHASSIS FORUM COMMENTS I FOUND ON A RV NETWORK, (IRV2.NET). *TR

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.
