Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I attempted to do a narrative here before, but it was to long for your web site to accept. i have the narrative typed up and will continue here and see at the end how i can get the narrative to you buy other means. *nm while driving the vehicle suffered a engine coolant leak. the consumer was able to pull the vehicle over onto the side of the road. the smell of the coolant made the consumers sick. the consumer suffered from labored breathing, coughing and their eyes were stinging and tearing. the warning light illuminated on the dash but the buzzer did not go off nor did the computer shut down the engine, as the owner's manual stated it should. the vehicle was towed to an authorized repair facility. the tech discovered that all the coolant had leaked out and that rodents had gotten into the frame rails, where the heater hoses and a lot of electrical wiring was. the rodent had eaten through the heater hoses and had made an nest. the consumer feels that eh motorhome industry needs to come up with a way to rodent proof all motorhomes. *nm
