2016 WINNEBAGO VISTA WFE30T, SERIAL NUMBER 10E42U189473, BUILT ON 2016 FORD F53 MOTORHOME CHASSIS: THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THE TRANSMISSION TOW HAUL FEATURE, "PROVIDES ENGINE BRAKING IN ALL FORWARD GEARS, WHICH WILL SLOW YOUR VEHICLE AND ASSIST YOU IN CONTROLLING YOUR VEHICLE WHEN DESCENDING A GRADE. DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS AND LOAD CONDITIONS, MAY DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, SLOW YOUR VEHICLE AND CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED WHEN DESCENDING A HILL, WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE AMOUNT OF DOWNSHIFT BRAKING PROVIDED WILL VARY BASED UPON THE AMOUNT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED." I HAVE DESCENDED SEVERAL 8 PERCENT GRADES WITH TRANSMISSION IN THE TOW HAUL MODE WHILE APPLYING HEAVY MANUAL BRAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER DOWNSHIFTED TO APPLY ENGINE BRAKING. FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE 2016 FORD F53 CHASSIS WITH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION ON AN OWNERS GROUP FORUM HAVING THE FOLLOWING WEB LINK: HTTP://WWW.IRV2.COM/FORUMS/F23/DOWNSHIFTING-2016-F53-6-SPEED-266197.HTML I HAVE BEEN TO A FORD DEALER WHO, AFTER ROAD TESTING, AGREED WITH MY DIAGNOSIS, BUT RESPONDED THAT FORD IS DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM.

FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS THE "CHECK AIRBAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE CLAY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN NORWOOD. THEY REPLACE THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS ($160). A MONTH LATER THE "CHECK AIRBAG" LIGHT CAME BACE ON. THE DEALER THEN CLEARED THE CODE AND TOLD ME IF IT CONTINUES TO COME BACK ON THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW MAIN WIRING HARNESS. THE "CHECK AIRBAG" THEN CAME BACK ON. THEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS ($1,200). AND NOW THE "CHECK AIRBAG" HAS COME BAG ON AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THEY MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE SIDE AIRBAG IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST. FIRST THIS IS GETTING TOO EXPENSIVE AND SECOND HYUNDAI IS NEGLECTING THE SAFETY OF THEIR DRIVERS BECAUSE, I'M TOLD, THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH IF THE "CHECK AIRBAG" IS ON.

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. NEW SENSOR WAS PUT IN UNDER WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON. IT WAS REPLACE AT MY COST ($250) BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER THE SENSOR LIGHT COMES BACK ON. IT WAS NOT FIX, HOWEVER, WHEN THE TIMING BELT WAS REPLACE IN 2013 AT 60,000 THE SENSOR LIGHT WENT OFF. AFTER RECENT DEALER COMPUTER REPAIRS IN MARCH OF 2015 THE SENSOR AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON APRIL 2015. MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE IDENTICAL MODEL AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR LIGHT.THERE ARE BLOGS ON LINE THAT DISCUSS THE FAILURES OF THE AIR BAG SENSOR. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WORKS OR NOT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FOLLOWING A LINE OF CARS THROUGH A LOCAL CITY STREET MY CAR ACCELERATED COMING CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT. I BRAKE, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. I USED ALL MY STRENGTH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR RESPONDED BY GOING FASTER. TO AVOID A COLLISION, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I HIT THE BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THIS FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR. I READ ON A WEBSITE THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HELLO. I WAS SOLD A LEMON BY [XXX] OF AL'S MOTOR SALES LOCATED ON 1126 N. MONTELLO ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301.WHEN I WENT FOR INSPECTION I GOT A REJECTION STICKER BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, TIMING BELTS, AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON, HEADLAMPS AND A BACKLIGHT, AND WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE GAS PEDAL! ONCE I RAN A VIN SCAN REALIZED THAT HE RECEIVED THE CAR LIKE THIS BUT NEVER DISCLOSED THAT TO ME. HE ALSO LEFT THE INFORMATION OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS IN THE VEHICLE. RATHER, HE TURNED OFF THE O2 SENSOR LIGHTS AND LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR COULD PASS INSPECTION. I TRADED MY 1998 INFINITI I30 FOR A 2005 HYUNDAI XG 350 SO THAT THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER BE $3500 BUT $2400. WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. [XXX] HAS AVOIDED MY CALLS AND GOTTEN VERY VERBALLY AGGRESSIVE IN PERSON WHEN I SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT HIS ACTIONS. HE HAS AGREED TO REFUND MY MONEY, INFINITI, CAR KEYS, $2400.00 AND BRAND NEW BATTERY I PUT IN THE HYUNDAI, BUT KEEPS PUTTING OFF THE TIMES WE'RE TO MEET. I BELIEVE HE IS TRYING TO BLEED OUT HIS TIME WITH THE LEMON LAW SO THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ADHERE TO THE REFUND. WHEN ASKED TO READ THE TERMS OF HIS OWN FEDERAL BUYERS GUIDE, HE COULDN'T! I WOULD LIKE HIS WHOLE OPERATION INVESTIGATED AS HE IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL AND KNOWINGLY ROBS PEOPLE CONTINUALLY. HE HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS GOING ON 4 WEEKS. MY TRUST AND RIGHTS HAVE BEEN RAPED AND I WOULD LIKE JUSTICE. AS A SCHOOL TEACHER I NEED THIS CAR TO GET WORK AND INSTEAD, I TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WHILE PAYING CAR INSURANCE. THIS DEALER IS ILLEGALLY SELLING VEHICLES THAT ARE COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF OTHER MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE MATTER BEFORE IT EVOLVES INTO A TRAGIC FATALITY.
