2003 Gulf Stream Fifth Wheel Trailer

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEELS EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, THESE UNITS WERE PRODUCED WITH A DEFECTIVE PANEL. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR BETWEEN CIRCUIT PATTERNS ON THE MEMBRANE PANEL, ESPECIALLY OVERLAPPED BY A "JUMPER" OR JUMP WIRE. THIS MAY CAUSE THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS.

Risk. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS. THIS COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, OR POSSIBLY A FIRE.

Remedy. SAMSUNG WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSUMERS SHOULD UNPLUG THEIR MICROWAVE, IF POSSIBLE. IF THE CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR UNTIL THE PANEL IS REPLACED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NEVER USE THE MICROWAVE OVEN FOR STORAGE OR LEAVE ANY TOWELS, PAPER, CLOTH OR OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE MICROWAVE AFTER USE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SAMSUNG AT 800-932-3837 OR GULF STREAM AT 574-773-7761.

2003 GULF STREAM TIRE BLEWOUT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED OVER THE COURSE OF TIME, ALL SIX TIRES BLEW OUT. THE RV SUFFERED DAMAGED. (CARLISLE TIRE)*JB UPDATED *JB

WHEN OPENING THE DOOR OF THE RV, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO USE THE SPACER (6") TO HOLD THE DOOR IN PLACE, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THE PROPANE WATER HEATER EXHAUST LOCATED BEHIND THE DOOR ONCE OPEN WILL MELT OR BURN THE DOOR, EVEN WHEN THE SPACER IS ON IT, STILL WILL MELT THE DOOR DEPENDING IF IT IS WINDY OR NOT. IN JUNE 2003 WE FIRST REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THE MANUFACTURER COULD DO, SO IN NOVEMBER 2003 THEY CHANGE THE DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS MELTED WHERE THE EXHAUST WAS AND THEY ADD ON A 12" SPACER BELIEVING THAT THIS WILL REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IN JULY 2004 THE DOOR MELTED AGAIN BUT NOT HAS MUCH AS LAST YEAR. MY CHILD FORGOT ONCE AND IT GOT VERY HOT AND MELTED AGAIN. THERE WOULD BE A WAY TO FIXED IT, IS TO RELOCATE THE WATER HEATER BESIDE THE FRIDGE IN THE CENTRE OF THE RV. BUT THEY PREFER TO CHANGE THE DOOR AT EVERY TIME. THE 2004 RV'S THEY CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE WATER HEATER. I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD IF THE DOOR IS LEFT UNATTENDED. *JB

SUB STANDARD TIRES, ON JULY 21, 2004 I HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL, OF MY FIFTH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER. I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOW OUT OTHER THAN I HAVING BAD LUCK, THE TRAILER IS A 2003 MAKE MADE BY GULF STREAM. SO I JUST HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND REPAIRED THE DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER. I HAD THE TIRE REPAIRED BUT DID NOT SAVE THE OLD TIRE. IN SEPTEMBER WE TOOK ANOTHER CAMPING TRIP, WELL ON THE WAY I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON THE SAME SIDE BUT THE FRONT TIRE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE, THIS IS NO FREAK INCIDENT I HAD THE TIRE REPLACE BUT I KEPT THE OLD TIRE THIS TIME. TWO DAYS LATER ON THE WAY HOME, I HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AS SOON AS WE MADE IT HOME I REPLACED ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER. I CONTACTED CARLISLE TIRES AND SENT THEM THE TIRES (1 BLOW OUT 2-GOOD TIRES) THAT DID NOT CAUSE DAMAGE, AND WEEK LATER THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR THESE TIRES, THE SECOND BLOW OUT THAT CAUSE THE MINOR DAMAGE I HAD TO CONTACT GOODYEAR AND SENT THEM THE OLD TIRE, A WEEK LATER THEY ALSO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE SECOND TIRE AND THE DAMAGE TO THE TRAVEL. I FILE A CLAIM WITH GOODYEAR ON THE FIRST BLOW OUT AND WAS DENY BECAUSE I GOOD NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE TIRE GOODYEAR POLICY IS NO TIRE NO CLAIM NO SERVICE SO THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FIRST BLOW OUT THE ONE THAT COST ME $871.00 (CARLISLE ST 225 75R15 MADE BY GOODYEAR) . MY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY JUST REPLACED THE FOUR TIRES BECAUSE OF SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T PROVIDE T
