| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our motorhome has a rear diesel engine. the accelerator cable runs from the left front back to the engine, crossing over in front of the exhaust system. the muffler burned out, the tail pipe separated from the muffler, leaning forward into the accelerator cable, burning into the cable. this caused the accelerator to lock up at 55 mph. had to apply brakes to avoid having an accident, causing the brake hubs to crack badly. mechanic said the accelerator cable should not have routed across the engine in the area of the tail pipe. he re-routed the accelerator cable. i turned this into oshkosh truck corp and have not received any satisfactory answer from them. they told me to send them an itemized bill, but when i called again they could't find it. i mailed the letter on oct 30, 2000. someone will get killed by this, i was just lucky. i imagine all oshkosh diesel motorhomes are routed this way. |
