TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MONACO DIPLOMAT LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS REFRIGERATOR FAILED TO WORK. HE CALLED A LOCAL TECHNICIAN TO COME OUT AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE REPAIRED OR THE CONTACT COULD PURCHASE A NEW UNIT. THE CONTACT CHOSE TO PURCHASE A NEW UNIT; HOWEVER, THE OLD UNIT WAS NOT REMOVED BECAUSE IT WAS INOPERABLE. ON APRIL 9, 2008, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY A HISSING SOUND AND A STRONG AMMONIA ODOR. HIS GRANDSON NOTICED A FIRE IN THE AREA OF THE REFRIGERATOR.

3RD UPDATE TO OD ID #8005766. THE GOODYEAR PRODUCT SERVICE BULLETIN (PSB 2002-20), DATED JULY 10, 2002, WAS FOR THE 1999-2001 40 FT. MONACO WINDSOR MOTOR HOME WITH 275/70R22.5 LR H TIRES. OUR 2001 40 FT. DIPLOMATE LE HAS THE SAME TIRES AND WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME. THE WHEELBASE ON THE 40 FT. WINDSOR IS 270 INCHES, THE WHEELBASE ON THE DIPLOMAT LE IS 256 INCHES, WHICH MAKES IT 12 INCHES SHORTER THAN THE WINDSOR AND WITH MORE WEIGHT TO THE REAR OF THE MOTOR HOME, WHICH COLD BE ONE OF THE CAUSES OF THE STEERING PROBLEM. I TALKED WITH AN ENGINEER FROM GOODYEAR AND HE SAID OUR MOTOR HOME, WITH 125 LBS. OF AIR IN THE TIRES AND RUNNING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN 90+ DEGREE WEATHER, WOULD BE COM
2ND UPDATE TO OD ID 8005766. THE GOODYEAR TIRE REPLACEMENT, WE ARE TOLD, WAS NOT A RECALL AND DID NOT INCLUDE OUR COACH. HOWEVER, WE FEEL BECAUSE THE TIRE SIZES BEING REPLACED WERE THE SAME AS OURS, WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. MONACO STATES THEY DID NOT TELL GOODYEAR NOT TO REPLACE THE TIRES, GOODYEAR CHOSE NOT TO PUT LARGER TIRES ON. WE HAVE ALSO SOUGHT TO HAVE THE MONROE SHOCKS REPLACED AND WERE TOLD BY MONROE THAT ROADMASTER WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF AND SEND THEM BACK; HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL DISPUTE, ROADMASTER WILL NOT DO THIS. THE SHOCKS ARE UNDER WARRANTY. WE ARE STILL BEING TOLD TO CONTACT A MONROE DEALER. HOWEVER, WE STILL FEEL THAT BECAUSE MONACO HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS
UPDATE TO OD ID 8005766. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUR STEERING PROBLEM SOLVED WITH MONACO BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE HAVE A LAWSUIT PENDING (THE LAWSUIT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE STEERING PROBLEM). WE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT GOODYEAR HAS A RECALL (PSB#2002-20) ON OUR TIRES, WHICH ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES ON AND ARE BADLY WORN, BUT MONACO WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF OUR LAWSUIT. WE WANT TO UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT SO, IN THE EVENT WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WE HAVE ON RECORD THAT MONACO HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS STEERING PROBLEM.
VEHICLE HAS HAD APPROXIMATELY 12 ALIGNMENTS, WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. MANUFACTURER HAS NO REMEDY.*AK *MR
