Owner report 11548591 · 2023-10-06 (October 6, 2023)
June 6 2023 -- While making a tight turn the POWER STEERING LINE "POPPED" with no warning creating a loss of steering and braking capabilities and placing us in danger. There is a Ford recall (22S08) for several vehicles of this same make/model but our vehicle was not included and we don't know why. It has taken a Ford shop nearly 4 months to repair. According to the Ford shop only the hoses were replaced and not the actual pump. This was a very dangerous situation and we should have been notified of this known defect.

THE HIGH PRESSURE PROPANE GAS LINE FROM THE PROPANE TANK TO THE STOVE HAS CRACKED. I JUST DISCOVERED THIS YESTERDAY NOV 1, 2011 WHILE LOOKING FOR THE REASON THE GAS TO THE STOVE WAS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE THE SLIDE WAS RETRACTED. WHAT I FOUND WAS THE GAS LINE PINCHED AT A 180 DEGREE ANGLE, FOLDED BACK ON ITSELF. WHEN THE SLIDE-OUT IS EXTENDED THE GAS LINE STRAIGHTENS ENOUGH TO ALLOW GAS TO FLOW. WHEN THE SLIDE-OUT IS DRAWN BACK IN TO MOVE THE MOTORHOME, THE GAS LINE IS FOLDED AND PINCHED CLOSED. I INSPECTED THE GAS LINE AT THE FOLD/PINCH POIN…
