| Description of the problem | 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 |
