MY WIFE DEBBY AND I BOUGHT A NEW RV AT DAN GAMELS IN ROCKLIN CA. THE RV IS A 31W GT JAMBOREE BY FLEETWOOD. WE HAVE OWED IT FOR 14 MONTHS AND THE RV HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 200 DAYS. WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOBODY IS WILLING TO HELP US. THE MANUFACTURER JUST BLOWS US OFF, THE DEALERS SAYS "IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM" WE JUST SELL THEM. THERE MUST BE SOME PROTECTION TO THE CONSUMER? PLEASE HELP US. *JB

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.

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.
