2022 Winnebago View

My RV is going into limp mode after driving several (about 4) hours. No CEL and no other symptoms other than paddle shifters not working while driving on interstate This has happened several times. I brought it twice to. Mercedes in Macon Ga who could not see any codes nor replicate and obviously will not just start replacing components. I researched on internet and many folks are experiencing same issue. Some said if I pull over, shut down for about 20 minutes, and restart it will correct. I did that and it works. Mercedes in Macon were very nice and I understand their position. However, I cannot nor do not want this to happen while going up a grade!! It is a safety hazard and needs to be fixed. Where do I go from here? Tried to email Mercedes but would not go through saying "Your message couldn't be delivered to [XXX] because the remote server is misconfigured. See technical details below for more information." I have two videos which I showed to Mercedes but again, no CEL nor code so they did not know where to go with this.

The part is Winnebago part number 329370-01-CHT. Part description: PANEL-TRIM, FRT CAP, LH. The failed part could easily have caused severe injury to another driver. The problem is a known issue that has been reported by hundreds of View owners. The part has not been inspected by anyone of the entities listed in the bullet point of your General Guidelines. There was no warning preceding the failure.

Equalizer front stabilizer jacks become loose after repeated usage. If not corrected, they will eventually bend enough that they break creating an unsafe condition if the RV falls while elevated. Repairs were performed on my rig where an upgraded bracket was installed. The Equilizer 3724R and 3729R brackets replace the inferior 335586 and 335589 brackets. From what I can tell, Winnebago installed these Equalizer jacks as an option on several Mercedes Chassis’s over a number of years.

While driving down the highway we noticed a noise. The noise got louder. I was a passenger and looked in the mirror and I could see that our awning manufactured by Carefree had deployed. We hurriedly pulled over to the shoulder. It was not a very wide shoulder and it was very dangerous. We were obviously very anxious about this. We could not get the awning to pull back in. We limped to the next exit where it would be safer to work on it. We were then able to get the awning to retract but it was ripped. We drove carefully to the next rest stop and applied four zip ties to the awning and pulled the DC fuse. We did not want this to happen again. For our safety and for the safety of others. This is a brand new vehicle and our first road trip. There was no warning other than the sound. There have been no problems prior to this incident. The awning had been used one time at a campground with no problem. It is our understanding that this awning is not supposed to deploy when the engine is running no matter what. Obviously that system failed. We immediately reported to the dealer. According to them they had never known anyone that this is happened to you before, yet following the incident I have found multiple reports of this happening. This is extremely dangerous.
