| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Complaint received via e-mail. " while driving on interstate 81 with the on board generator on, we noticed a foul odor coming into the coach. shortly after a loss of coolant the dash light came on. when i opened the hood i found the heater core had sprung a major coolant leak which was spraying hot coolant onto the hot generator. i later learned this situation has everything necessary to start a fire. winnebago and the company that built the heater core will not assist in any way with this major expensive repair. other journey owners i have encountered in different camp grounds have had similar problems with the heater core. i feel winnebago should share some responsibility both from a negligence as well as a potential very dangerous condition existing from poor quality control. the part is $75.00, but the entire front end of the coach has to be removed in order to reach the heater core. the repair will be in the thousands.*jb |
