Thor Motor Coach MIRAMAR problems and owner complaints

WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE OUTSIDE KITCHEN ON OUR 2015 MIRIMAR. ON OUR LAST OUTING, ONE OF THE STRUTS THAT HOLD THE DOOR OPEN BROKE OFF. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT IT WAS SCARY. I TOOK A LOOK AT THE STRUT AND IT LOOKED FINE. HOWEVER, THE BRACKET ON THE DOOR WAS BADLY BENT. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I FOUND THE THREE REMAINING BRACKETS WERE ALSO BENT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, WE NEVER DID ANY THING WITH THIS DOOR OTHER THAN OPEN AND CLOSE IT. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO KEEP USING THE KITCHEN, I THOUGHT ABOUT USING THE BRACKET OFF THE DOOR STRUT ON THE BATTERY COMP…

You have a Technical Service Bulletin 20-2370 issued 09 November 2020 for this vehicle, so no notice to consumers until the issue arises and their mechanic figures it out. The issue causes an extreme heat build up that melts spark plug wires, causes loss of power and/or misfiring, and could cause a vehicle fire which is not noted in your bulletin. This should have been a recall ceasing sales until affected Ford F-53s were repaired. I encountered this issue while on 38 in the San Bernardino National Forest. This was a major safety issue with…

RV- 2022 Thor Miramar 34.5 With 2021 Ford F53 Chassis I appreciate your attention because this is the BIGGEST issue and safety concern. We spent over 160k on this class A that doesn't even feel safe to drive. As the driver or passenger, we are white knuckled. There is no stability when driving. The steering wheel is all over the place. A gust of wind pushes us off the road, every bump completely jars the camper. This is absolutely horrible. It is unsafe and scary. We are very experienced drivers and have drove large trucks and fire trucks. B…
