2019 Winnebago Forza

I READ A COMPLAINT IN THE NHTSA FILES, ABOUT THE LOOSE STEERING OF ANOTHER 2019 WINNEBAGO FORZA 34T, ON FREIGHTLINER XCS CHASSIS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ME GETTING USED TO THE STEERING, BUT AFTER DRIVING THIS MOTORHOME APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES, I REALIZED THAT THE COACH IS VERY UNSTABLE AND THE STEERING HAS TOO MUCH PLAY IN IT. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND MAINTAIN IT WITHIN THE TRAFFIC LANES, SPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60-65 MPH. I AM AN EXCELLENT DRIVER AND HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE DRIVER'S TRAINING DURING MY CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT DRIVING THIS MH IS A WHITE KNUCKLE CHALLENGE. I AM CONSTANTLY SWAYING WITHIN MY LANE AND ON OCCASION WHEN IT SWAYS TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD THE UNIT GETS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. MANUFACTURE AND DEALER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. IT IS FRIGHTENING SPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS WITHIN PROXIMITY. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS PROBABLY DO NOT REPORT THIS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IS PROBABLY DRIVER INEXPERIENCE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC EVENT.*DT*DT CONSUMER DID NOT TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED. FRONT TIRES FEEL AS IF IT IS FLOATING AND DOESN'T HAVE A SOLID GRIP ON THE ROAD.*JB

THERE ARE MANY STEERING ISSUES ABOUT THE XCS FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS USED IN THE WINNEBAGO DIESEL PUSHERS. WE HAVE A BRAND NEW WINNEBAGO AND THE STEERING HAS SO MUCH PLAY IN IT. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND FREIGHTLINER TWICE AND ALL THEY SAY IS IT IS ADJUSTED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THIS RIG IS NOT SAFE TO DERIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE WHEEL MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE MH STRAIGHT ON A ROAD. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE CAN SWAP OUT SOME COMPONENTS AT A STEEP COST, BUT THIS IS A BRAND NEW MH! WE ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE EXTERIOR COMPARTMENT DOORS OPENING WHILE TRAVELING.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED HE WAS THE DRIVER AND WIFE WAS THE ONE WHO FILED THE COMPLAINT. AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE MOTOR WHILE DRIVING HOME CONSUMER STARTED TO NOTICE VEHICLE REFUSED TO STAY IN LANE AND CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNTIL TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECTED. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED TO CONSUMER'S STANDARDS. *JB
