AT 20MPH ON FREEWAY EXIT WITH ROUGH SURFACE FRONT WHEELS STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE UNTIL ALMOST TOTALLY STOPPED. ON CHECKING IT IS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX. THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITS THIS ALSO AS IT MOVES ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTS TO TURN. WE ALSO NOTE THAT LEFT FRONT WHEEL RUBS DRAGGING ON FULL RIGHT TURN. THE UNIT WAS JUST FRONT END ALIGNED, AND THE TIRES ROTATED. THIS IS AN OSHKOSH CHASSIS, NOW OWNED BY FREIGHTLINER. THE MOTORHOME MANUFACTURER, R & R CUSTOM COACH WORKS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AT THE END OF THE 1993 MODEL. THERE IS NOT A FREIGHLINER DEALER IN SAN JOSE, CA. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY PROBLEM IN THE FRONTEND. THIS IS A 35 FOOT CLASS A MOTORHOME. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 700 MILES AND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. *AK

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.
