Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: From the time i purchased my motorhome i started having problems with the suspension. i had the vehicle at my dealer twice and to freightliner (the chassis manufacturer) 4 times and was told that they had a suspension problem and that they were trying to fix it without a recall. they were never able to fix the problem which eventually got so bat that i broke the left front spring which made me run off the road and i het my head very hard on the side window and steering wheel. this is a very unsafe vehicle to drive and it is my opinion that the motorhome coach is to heavy for the chassis which results in unstable handleing which in my case could have caured a terrible accident. it was very fortunate that a bad accident did not occur when the sp[ring broke and i ran off the road. if anyone would like to discuss this incident further please feel free to gige me a call. *ak
