What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 Winnebago Vista, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 WINNEBAGO VISTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR SUDDENLY BECAME FRACTURED AND SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED MIRROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,900.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Driver assistance
Reports naming forward-collision avoidance, lane keeping, back-over prevention, cruise control and related electronic driver-assistance systems.
From owner reports, verbatim
WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, 65 MPH, ENGINE RPM 1900, 5TH GEAR, AFTER ENCOUNTERING A SLIGHT GRADE, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS FROM 5TH, TO 4TH, TO 3RD, TO 2ND GEAR, ENGINE RPM 4500, IN 48 SECONDS. ENGINE RACES UNTIL CRUISE CONTROL IS MANUALLY DISENGAGED. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, IS VERY STARTLING, AND I BELIEVE, COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER, AND/OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE ARE AFTER-MARKET DEVICES AVAILABLE WHICH CLAIM TO SOLVE OR MINIMIZE THE PROBLEM. MULTIPLE FORD "CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE" REPRESENTATIVES AND DEALER SERVICE REPS FROM NC TO AZ WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY SAY THE CRUISE CONTROL PERFORMS "NORMALLY" AND OFFER NO HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SENT A VIDEO CLIP SHOWING THIS MALFUNCTION TO SEVERAL OF THEM WITHOUT ANY POSITIVE RESULTS. REQUEST IS TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT DESIGN, GET THEM TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND FIX IT, BEFORE IT CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD TECHNICAL PEOPLE NEED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION BECAUSE THEIR DEALERS AND "CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE" REPRESENTATIVES ARE SIMPLY PASSING THE BUCK WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. *TR
