When driving in the rain vehicle stalled, causing the driver to pull off the road.
On march 18th 2004 at approximately 10:30 pm, a female adult (occupant) age 49, opened the entry door and stepped off the rv.the electric double-door (edd) step was not extended at the time and the occupant fell to grade, approximately 3 feet vertically, seriously injuring the occupant and fracturing her right lower leg. The edd step on the 2001 winnebago adventurer v32 is designed to automatically extend when the entry door is opened and retract when the entry door is closed. The edd step can also be controlled by an on-off switch that disables the edd step in its last position. This on-off switch enables one to disable the stairway in the extended position for convenience at a campsite where entry and exit would occur frequently. If the edd step is so disabled, turning the ignition switch will override the on-off switch and retract the edd step if the entry door is closed. Fell to grade severely injuring herself. Design/safety deficiencies: the on-off switch for the edd step is located in the same area as the porch light switch and the interior light switch.it is also the same style of toggle switch with the identical size, color, and operating feel of the light switches.there are no warning signs or instructions posted to describe the operation of the edd step and the function of the step switch and the potential fall hazard.

It was towed to a service facility and remained there for several weeks because of parts shortage. Over the years the parking brakes have locked either while the vehicle was in motion (62 mph) or while attempting to place it in motion: 20 apr 2005, 13 oct 2006, 19 oct 2006, 5 sep 2008,2 feb 2011.

The consumer received a recall notice #03v060000 for the brake warning light indicator.the consumer was only able to get an appointment three weeks from now which was not convenient him.
I have a failure in progress that seems to be affecting other owners of winnebago motorhomes and not just mine.due to light gauge metals used in the step mounting areas and improper attachement proceedures used during manufacture the entry step mounting plate is cracking and the step is at the point of failure of its mounts.this failure has been noted on several other winnebago\itasca motore homes that i am aware of and is not limited to one unit but seems to be a wide spread problem.winnebago's responce is that it is a known failure but they are not willing to put out a tsb or recall.they are also refusing to help with the cost of these repairs and are leaving the full burden upon the owners.if the steps fail while someone is entering or exiting the coach morbidity could be a very real consequence for those using the steps.i have taken the step out of service until such time that corrective action can be taken.
While driving the consumer could hear a rubbing noise, the vehcle was taken to an independent dealer who found that the cotter pins were never installed at the factory, the consumer requested reimbursement but was only approved for partial reimbursement.nlm
Informed by camping world in valencia, ca. And eckharts trailer hitch and welding in thousand oaks ca. That the rear springs are flat (actually have a negative bow) because of the weight of the coach. The only weight i have added in a full tank of gas(75 gal) and a full tank of water, (90 gal) and 28 gal of propane. The suspension is reported to be overloaded before adding food clothes and passengers. As a consumer i was not aware of this problem or how to correct it by either the manufacture or the dealer. I believe this is a safety issue that consumers should be made aware of and should be corrected by the manufacturer.
