What owners report
THE BREAK-AWAY SWITCH ON OUR CAMPER HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED WHILE IN A CAMPGROUND FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS & CAUSED THE SWITCH TO MELT & THE INSULATION TO BURN OFF OF THE WIRES, ALONG WITH OTHER WIRES GOING INTO THE JUNTION BOX. THERE WAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. THE SWITCH & WIRING IS UNDER-SIZED FOR THE APPLICATION & WILL NOT CARRY THE AMPERAGE THAT THE BRAKES DRAW. IT APPEARS THAT THE WIRES TO THE SWITCH WHICH ARE ABOUT 16 GAUGE ARE FED BY ABOUT A 10 GAUGE WIRE POWER SOURCE. LOGIC WOULD INDICATE THAT THESE WIRES SHOULD BE OF EQUAL SIZE AS THE FEED WIRE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT A FAIL-SAFE DESIGN & SHOULD NOT OVERHEAT TO THE POINT OF CAUSING A FIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED KEYSTONE & T
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR GETS STUCK IN THE "WIDE OPEN" POSITION. WILL NOT CLOSE. HAD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO A GARAGE WITH DOOR IN THIS POSITION. THE DOOR HINGE/BRACKET HAD TO BE CUT INTO. THIS IS THE SECOND SPRINTER TO DO THIS. THE FIRST WAS A 2007.
SEAT BELT LATCH CABLES ARE BROKEN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH IS ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR WITH THREE CABLES. TWO ARE SNAPPED INTO LEAVING ONLY ONE TO CONSTRAIN DRIVER. IF THE DRIVER WRECKS THE ONE CABLE WON'T BE ENOUGH TO KEEP SOMEONE FROM BEING INJURED AS I'M SURE THE OTHER CABLE WILL SNAP UPON A HEAVY COLLISION. THIS VAN ISN'T EVEN TWO YEARS OLD.
