2020 Winnebago View Problems

Plexiglass window on house door to RV separates. This is a known issue to Winnebago which has provided warranty coverage for up to three years, even though the problem typically manifests at or after three years. The window separates from the house door either partially or completely - in the latter case - causing the window to fly off and pose a threat to other drivers. The sudden separation of the window is a safety issue to occupants of the RV since it may not be immediately apparent what the problem is while driving at interstate speeds. There are no warning lights for this window. The problem appears many times on the View/Navion 2020 owners webpage. Winnebago says the window is attached to the door by a company in Italy. Winnebago customer service says they are uncertain what the best fix is other than to try different adhesives or tape the window back assuming it is not missing due to a total separation from the RV. In my case I was traveling out of state on an interstate when a partial separation occurred. Not knowing what happened I immediately pulled over. Duct tape did not hold the window - eventually, Gorilla Tape allowed a temporary fix. Dealer says "repair" will take at least two hours at $200/hour. If plexiglass breaks during repair a new window will need to be purchased in addition to labor.

AWNING OPENED UP PARTIALLY WHILE DRIVING APPROX 1-2" , HEARD A TICKING NOISE AND CHECKED IT OUT WHEN DISCOVERED IT HAD OPENED. ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT WITH ELECTRIC SWITCH BUT IT DID NOT RESPOND. I SECURED IT WITH ZIP TIES AND MOVED ON.

Coach door hinge (strut) came loose on a trip from OH to main in 2023. (Wind and rain was penetrating into the coach). We feared that the door would completely blow open. We called a roadside repairman who tightened it but could not repair the strut or make the seal tight. Once returned to Ohio we took it to have it repaired- some adjustments were made however the door continues to loosen with use. Seal and strut were not working as they should. However, due to job transfer, we had to drive the RV across country from CA to OH in 2024. Due to health issues the RV has been in storage until a month ago. We then took our RV to Mesa RV in Davis, CA-Their suggested solution is that we slam the door to get a seal. We still have an ongoing concern that this may be a hazard if the door comes off while driving, as using it causes the door to rattle and loosen more. This same door also had a window recall which is not related. We feel like we are out of options.

The adaptive cruise control will suddenly and unexpectedly stop working while driving on highways... This also disables active brake assist (emergency braking if an object is detected ahead). After a random period of time, the systems will start working again for a certain time until the scenarios repeat. This issue is widely reported on multiple web sites like the following...
