I HAVE WINDOW SEAL FAILURE ON ALL OF THE WINDOWS OF MY 1997 BEAVER COACH. THE SEALS HAVE ALL FAILED ON THE DUAL PANE WINDOWS CAUSING FOGGY CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE 2 PANES. IT DOESN'T REALLY CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW THAT HAS A FAILED SEAL AND CREATES A FOGGY CONDITION THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS CHANGING LANES. THE WINDOWS ARE MANUFACTURED BY SE-GI OF NORCO CALIF. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER RV'ERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
