TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FLEETWOOD FIESTA LX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE LARGE FRONT SLIDE OUT ON THE VEHICLE PROTRUDED OUTWARD ABOUT 2 1/2 INCHES. IT PROGESSIVELY GOT WORST AND BEGAN TO PROTRUDE TO APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES. HE USED A JACK TO PRY IT SHUT AND IT STAYED SHUT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BRAKE WAS SLIPPING AND IT COULD BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT BUT THE CONTACT PLANNED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.
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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
