What Excursion owners report
Recent visibility complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FLEETWOOD EXCURSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DUAL PANE WINDOW BECAME FOGGED AND IMPAIRED HIS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
THE WINDOWS STARTED FOGGY UP IN MY RV AND HAVE STEADY GOTTEN WORSE, ESPECIALLY THE DRIVERS WINDOW. AT NIGHT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE SIDE MIRROR DUE TO THE "FOGGING" OF THE WINDOW. FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ FROM OTHER RVERS, FLEETWOOD SEEMS TO HAVE USED INFERIOR WINDOWS…
BOUGHT A 2006 FLEETWOOD EXCURSION NEW IN 2007 WITH IN 3 YEARS SEVERAL WINDOWS LOST THEIR SEAL. TOTAL OF 5 SO FAR INCLUDING WINDOW BY DRIVER'S SEAT,CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH VISION. I CONTACTED FLEETWOOD WHO SAID THEY HAD NO LIABILITY. I CONTACTED A GLASS COMPANY WHO SAID THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.…
