AFTER OWNING MY FLEETWOOD RV FOR ONLY 4 YEARS, AND KEEPING IT HOUSED INDOORS, ALL OF THE DOUBLE-PAINED WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND FOGGED OVER. IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A CLEAR LOOK THRU THE SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS BECAUSE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE WINDOWS. THIS CREATES A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND WILL LEAD TO NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FLEETWOOD BUT TO NO AVAIL. IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THE FAULTY WINDOWS REPAIRED. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS ENDEMIC OF FLEETWOOD RV'S PRODUCED FROM 2000-2010. IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FLEETWOOD TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSE. PLEASE LOOK INTO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS MADE BY THE MANY RV OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SPECIFIED THAT THEY WERE FILING COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE MMDC (MULTIPLE MODULE DATA COMPUTER) WENT HEY-WIRE. ALL GAUGES TURNED OFF. NO SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TEMP, OIL ETC... ALSO THE RV "JAKE" BREAK (ENGINE BREAK) FAILED TO ENGAGE. SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH FREIGHTLINER'S MMDC THUS PUTTING MANY LARGE TRUCKS ON THE ROADS, AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM, IN DANGER. THE UNIT IS MADE BY MEDALLION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE NUMBER OF MMDC FAILURES (AFTER MARKET SALES) TO SEE IF IT WARRANTS A RECALL. I HAVE A FLEETWOOD RV BUT APPARENTLY THESE THINGS ARE IN A LOT OF RV'S AND POSSIBLY BIG RIGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. *TR
