VIN: [XXX] 2022 Grand Design Momentum 395ms has frame failure and welds are breaking, cabinets slowly dislodging from interior walls.

Grand Design's Service Response Team came out to verify our frame failure and said it is just within tolerance but it is happening and that we needed to take it back to Grand Design to get it repaired as soon as possible. I have an [XXX] …

Owner report 11573984 · 2024-02-26 (February 26, 2024)
Bolts going thru frame to exterior walls were broken, missing and or loose. While driving down the road the whole front of our trailer was loose and made our tow vehicle feel like it was not in control at some points. The problem started sometime around March or April of 2023 we think. We reported it in May 2023 and took it to the dealer in June 2023. At that time we were told they tightened up the bolts and we were safe for travels. We took it back to the dealer in July of 2023 and still the same comments from the dealer and nothing from the m…

Owner report 11591257 · 2024-05-29 (May 29, 2024)
I am experiencing what I believe to be a frame issue. When I take the weight of the 5th wheel off the landing gear and transfer to the 5th wheel pin I see lots of movement and hear a lot of popping and cracking noise. My floor above the 5th wheel hitch is now squeaking badly and there is a nail that has pushed through the flooring. I have broken screw in my slide out and the sealant is showing signs of movement. The trim cover sealant is pulling away so I believe the whole front of my 5th wheel is moving. My concern is this is getting to the po…
