WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC - WENT TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING. ENDED UP BEING THE TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT 30K. HAD THE TRANNY FLUID AND FILTER CHANGED. JUST SPENT 7000 K ON REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. IT HAD A TOTAL OF 53307 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A CRAP VEHICLE. EVEN THE MERCEDES MECHENIC. TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS I CAN. SAID THE TRANNY WASN'T MADE TO HAUL A CAMPER. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED IN ATLANTA, ON TOP OF THE THIRD BRIDGE HIGH INTERSTATE (285/85). WE STOPPED TRAFFIC FOR AN HOUR ON A FRIDAY AT 5PM. THEN SET ON TOP FOR 8.5 HOURS WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK.

WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2011 WINNEBAGO VIEW AND ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOMES BECAUSE THE DINETTE AREA SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." IN A COLLISION, THE GENERATED CRASH FORCES CAN CAUSE THE RESTRAINT'S ATTACHMENT TO TEAR AND ALLOW THE ANCHOR TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE RESTRAINT SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE DURING A CRASH, THE BELT WILL NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANT.
Remedy: WINNEBAGO WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-800-537-1885.

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH KWIKEE BRAND ELECTRIC STEPS, THE STEPS MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH DEFECTIVE STEP CONTROL UNITS.
