What owners report
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DAMON CHALLENGER, WORKHORSE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. SHE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE (SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V225000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA07016, COMPONENT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED DEALER. BEFORE ANY REPAIR WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS AT NO COST; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK-UP. THE REPAIRS COST WAS OVER $800 AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER DESPITE THE FACT THAT HER SPECIFIC RV WAS A PART OF THE RECALL. THE WORKHORSE DEALER WOULD NOT COVER THE INSPECTION TO THE VEHICLE NOR THE REPLACEMENT O
STALLING WHEN IT RAINS. IT SEEMS THAT THE AIR FILTER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. WHEN IT RAINS THE FRONT TIRE KICKS UP WATER IN THE AIR FILTER HOUSING SOAKING THE AIR FILTER CAUSING THE ENGINE TO QUIT RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS HARD. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FILTER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. CARRYING EXTRA AIR FILTERS IS STARTING TO GET EXPENSIVE. RIGHT NOW I USE DUCK TAPE TO SEAL THE FILTER BOX. *NM
SUN VISORS CAN NOT BE REACHED WHILE SITTING. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ADJUST. AT TIMES THIS IS REAL DANGERIOUS SINCE MOST OF THE HIGHWAYS DO NOT HAVE PLACES WIDE ENOUGH TO ALLOW THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, REAL BAD WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING TO THE WEST.*AK
THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUN VISORS ON THE MOTOR HOME. WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER HAD TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT AND STAND UP TO REACH THE SUNVISOR. ONCE THE VISOR WAS PULLED DOWN IT WAS TOO SHORT TO BLOCK THE GLARE OF THE SUN AND AS A RESULT THE DRIVER COULD NOT SEE WHILE DRIVING. *NM
INSIDE COMPARTMENT DOORS DON'T HAVE SUPPORT, THIS IS SAFETY A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WERE NOT WELL DESIGNED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK
