| Description of the problem | 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 |
