THE WINNEBAGO VOYAGE MODEL, YEAR 2005 THAT WE JUST BOUGHT HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD AND GLASS COME TOGETHER. THERE IS A VALLEY WHERE WATER COLLECTS AND THE USED COACH THAT WE BOUGHT HAS MASSIVE RUST INTO THE FRAME WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD, ACCORDING TO A BODY SHOP. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP (LAMESA OF TAMPA, FL) OR THE MANUFACTURER, WINNEBAGO TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE FRAME. ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN $1500 TO $8000. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE RUST AND OF THE DESIGN. *JB
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.
