| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Windshield migrates out of the frame during normal use. windshield was replaced in texas. a month later an angle bracket was mounted to the inside middle of the dash to prevent further migration of windshield in california. a few months later the front "cap" of the roof developed a "leak" which was "past" the one year warranty and repaired for approx. $2000. i drove rv for 650 miles to idaho. the first fall the front "cap" leaked yet again. dealer refused to repair for free. i placed a tarp over it for the winter. my wife had surgery which took all my time. this summer i noticed that the windshield had migrated out of the frame . this time it was the top of the windshield probably due to the "angle bracket" on the bottom which stopped the migration of the windshield in that location. i called the nearest dealer and was told that the manufacturer was aware of the problem and had a "fix". the rv has to be transported to indiana at the owners expense to have the repair done at no charge. i explained to the consumer warranty representative of rorestriver that i am in no position to deliver the rv to indiana. i had a injury that disabled me from "working" the rest of my life. i was unable to drive long distances. i now live on disability payments and find it very difficult to set aside the required expenses to make such a trip. *jb |
