Jayco pinnacle 37mdqs, frame crack issues. Contacted Jayco while still under the 3-year structural warranty. Jayco stated, there was nothing they could do and sorry for the problem. Lippert frames are the issue and trailer is parked until it’s able to be fixed. Insurance won’t cover it due to being a known issue with frame mfr.

Frame failure on my Jayco Pinnacle 36 5th wheel RV is the issue. The frame welds have cracked where the front overhangs and the pin box attaches to the truck pulling the 5th wheel thus causing outer cracking of the exterior fiberglass. The steel used in the frame does not stand up to the flexing as a result of moving down the highway. An investigation needs to be opened into this problem as the frames need to last more than a few years on a RV that is traveling down the roads and highways at a high rate of speed which could result in the RV becoming a safety hazard causing catastrophic injuries to the public. Manufacturers must take responsibility for their defective product and be held acco

The body is cracking and we are concerned that it is being caused by a frame problem. We contacted Jayco when we noticed the crack and they basically told us that sorry for the crack but you are out of warranty and we can’t help you. They are 100% aware of these issues and should be fixed at their expense regardless of warranty.

The frames are usually manufactured by Lippert. The steel used in the frame does not stand up to the flexing as a result of moving down the highway. I would like to see an investigation into this problem as the frames need to last more than two years on an item that costs over $100,000. Dealers don't take responsibility, man

My RV, 2020 Jayco Pinnacle, had to have new tires replaced after <12K miles due to bad axles, Dexter # 133178799. The new tires were replaced only to have the same wear patterns after 2,400 miles. I contacted Dexter & was offered one new axle (two are required) as a goodwill offer; not recognizing any quality issues with the axles. Also any replacement of tires or labor to install the new axle would be at my cost. I believe these axles are too light for this size 5th wheel and/or the product was damaged prior to my purchase due to the early initial tire wear.
