Initial Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2016/10/18) */
There is a slide issue with Mr. [redacted]'s unit. We approved Cold Springs (a certified Forest River dealer) to perform the required repairs. Cold Springs did not agree with the repair being requested by Lippert (slide/frame manufacture) and...

insisted they would have to cut the customers frame which is not factual. Once Cold Springs refused to perform the repair to Lippert's specs the Sandpiper warranty rep for Forest River, [redacted] informed Mr. [redacted] that Forest River would bring his unit back to Goshen, IN for Lippert Components to perform the repair needed and according to [redacted] Mr. [redacted] refused this offer stating he did not want the mileage put on to his unit.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 9, 2016/10/19) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The reason we choose not to accept their offer is due to the fact that this procedure was already performed once, and it failed. It was performed incorrectly at Holman Motors, on day day that we purchased the camper, which has now created more damage to the inner arms. Forest River does not want to pay to have the problem corrected properly, they only want to do the repair which is considered a Band-Aid. Cold Springs RV wants to do the repair the correct way, so that it does break again. Cold Springs RV feels that the fix sent to them is guaranteed to fail again. Now Forest River wants to drag our camper halfway across the country and then back again to do a repair where I cannot see what is being done to it. No thank you I want the camper replaced. Between all parties involved there were 47 phone calls back & forth. Many times we left messages that were never returned. We bought a brand new camper, not a camper that was broken or at least that's the impression we were under. Unfortunately we found out this is not true. After months of going back & forth, or no response at all, we don't believe that the camper will be fixed back to new, but chopped and pasted back together. We want the camper replaced or refunded. Just a note: Cold Springs RV was recommended to us by Forest River, we did not choose them, but we have no problem with the way that they wanted to fix the camper. Communication with Cold Springs RV was constant. They always returned phone calls & explained what was going on & what they wanted to do in detail.

We we are in agreement with what Forest River has proposed. We will not consider the matter closed however, until the camper has been completely fixed and returned to its storage location, and all other aspects of The Proposal have been followed through with and completed.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 11, 2016/10/20) */
We spoke with the retail customer and reached and agreement. we will be fixing the unit. Cold Springs RV has been authorized to complete the necessary work. Forest River will also extend the normal warranty time period. Forest River will also compensate Mr. [redacted] for lost time of use. we consider this matter closed.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2017/06/13) */
The reason for this denial is because there were pictures that were sent to us by the dealer and some of the pictures showed holes in the roof membrane where there are zero fasteners that could possibly cause any holes in the roof material. If...

something rubbed against the material and caused these holes that is something beyond the manufactures control and would not be considered a flaw in the material or the manufacturing process. That is the reason we denied this roof replacement under warranty.

To whom it may concern,
Forest River has been contacted by Mr. [redacted] legal council. Due to this turn of events, I am limited with what I am able to state in this response to the Revdex.com. Forest River has started working with Mr. [redacted] council in an attempt to reach an acceptable agreement with the...

[redacted]. Typically when a Revdex.com complaint is received, Forest River would contact the customer directly and work towards a resolution with the customer. We would answer the complaint based on those interactions and address each part of the complaint or report back with the final outcome of the interaction with the customer along with the resolution that was reached. Unfortunately in this situation, Forest River is unable to go into detail due to ongoing negotiations with our customers legal council.

Thank you for forwarding the response of [redacted] and this opportunity to respond. The Customer is happy that we contacted them in response to their letter. Forest River has reassured them that we stand behind our product and will do what...

we need to in order to resolve their concerns. They will be home sometime next week around the 25th or 26th. Our customer service representative left them a voicemail yesterday for an updated date. Once they get home they stated that they do not need the RV until the end of November but their Home owners association will only allow them to leave the RV outside their home for 2 days. When they call back we will also ask for pictures of the refrigerator and other concerns to assist in the repairs. [redacted] at J&L RV & repair is willing to take the unit and work it in to complete the needed repairs. They are only 350 miles away from Fontana, CA. We will continue to work with him toward resolution at that time and feel we are moving towards gaining his confidence back in the product. Please contact our office if we can be of further assistance.

Although this is not what we ultimately hoped for (we wanted to be out of this particular RV, either by receiving our monies back or by being placed in another RV due to the excessive amount of major items going bad and being a danger in the first two weeks) we are agreeing to see at this time if this unit can be fixed to an "as new" and "safe" motor coach. The flooding of the coach and wiring system including electrical wires having sat in large amounts of water throughout the night, fire in fridge and we have now (since reporting this originally) have learned the factory did not install the slide operation correctly and was "inevitably" going to fail and break (words of the repair shop) in which it did on our trip home from Tennessee to Arizona. This was a very dangerous situation we were put in as we were driving down the interstate in the middle of nowhere and now has come apart and caused the slide operation to not work. It is beyond repair and must be replaced with a new one. Besides the major life threatening defects that have occurred, we have a list of over a dozen cosmetic abnormalities as well.
We would like this to remain open until we are able to test the unit and make sure it is safe to be in.
We were very happy with the quick response from [redacted] the service manager of Forest River. After days and days of trying to get some assistance in our urgency for help and safety (from the camping world where we bought it, to the factory that manufactured it) it was not until we alerted the Revdex.com that we received any recognition. Thank you for your fast response Revdex.com and for [redacted] getting ahold of us. As of now we have spoke to [redacted] and he has told us someone will be at our house on September 27th to pick up our Forester by Forest River 3051sf and drive it 350 miles away to an RV repair shop they trust in Fontana CA. Then to return it to us. We have a prearranged trip planned in the RV, leaving November 20th for the Holiday. We will report back our finding and hopefully a positive response. But we do not want to close this till we know it has been taken care of.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

They have put a glob of white putty on the top of a brand new camper that I have been paying for he said if they took that off it would leak again and that is my point the leak is not fixed just covered up, I should not have to cont to pay for a brand new item that has a manufacture flaw , in the end the roof will leak again and then it will be on me this is not an acceptable to do business at all .

We purchased a NEW camper because we did not want to deal with these issues. Especially not water issues! We have lost a lot of work time, travel time, family time and money due to the nonstop issues related to this camper. This was supposed to be a fun enjoyable experience and it has been nothing but a disaster. And the WORST part about it all is my wife and I have been sleeping with mold right above our heads for who knows how long (HEALTH ISSUE) and the water/wiring issues could have caught our camper on fire and KILLED our family (FIRE HAZARD). I would expect that your company would back your products 100% and would want 100% customer satisfaction?! Well we are far from satisfied!!!

Got the refund for repair. I still would like my full warranty to be extended to July 12, 2016 or $700 for lost time with travel trailer while it was waiting on repairs.

The monetary amount requested by the customer is not justified. The warranty covered the repairs that are not covered under the second year warranty.

Have been in direct contact with customer about this issue weeks ago. A new refer was sent out to this customer over a month ago. This is a non issue at this point.

Response: [redacted]'s 2012 Toyota Camry was towed into Mizzoni's Auto Body on May 26, 2015. The vehicle arrived with extensive front end damage and right suspension damage. After a thorough inspection was completed by the shop and insurance company, the original delivery date was set with the...

customer by her insurance company for June 15, 2015. After completing repairs, the shop supervisor attempted to move the vehicle and found that it would not disengage from reverse. After a secondary inspection, it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a transmission replacement. The transmission damage was unforeseen damage that would only be noticed once completion of suspension work. The customer was made aware of the additional damages and notified that vehicle would be sent to the dealer for the transmission to be replaced. Once the dealer repairs were completed, a shop representative drove the vehicle back to the shop, at which time it was inspected again. Everything ran smooth and the vehicle was ready for detail, so the shop called the customer and scheduled pick-up. The customer's father came to the shop to pick up the vehicle. We processed the paper work and payment, then handed the customer’s father the keys. Once he was in the car, the car started and the customer’s father noticed a warning light on the dashboard. We ran a quick diagnoses, which proved unsuccessful. The shop told the customer that we would take the vehicle to the dealership to have them clear the codes and resolve the issue, which shouldn't take long and should be done later on in the day. The shop received a phone call from the dealer explaining that due to the extensive suspension damage, the brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. The customer's father returned to the shop, at which time we made customer aware of the additional damages and that we would not be able to release the vehicle. We explained that based on the conversation with the dealership, vehicle should be ready within the next couple of days. The insurance company was notified, at which time they notified Miss. [redacted] about the additional damages and that, as a courtesy, they would be covering half of her initial $500.00 deductible, as well as paying for a rental vehicle in good faith, as Miss. [redacted] didn't carry rental coverage on her policy. Once the dealership completed the repairs, the vehicle was brought back to the shop, re-inspected and delivered. The insurance company was involved in all steps of the process and their representatives maintained direct connection with Miss. [redacted]. The customer had a second claim with [redacted] for repairs that were minor and were completed well before the damages from the first claim. We and the insurance company apologized profusely to customer for the delays on her vehicle. At the conclusion of the repair process, the customer seemed to be content with the repairs that Mizzoni's Auto Body completed for her vehicle. Additional documentation is available upon request, should your investigation require further details.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not accept that response. The laws give the manufacturer the right to make reasonable attempts to cure the issues, but not to the extent that the time taken attempting to cure disproportionately favors the manufacturer and damages the consumer. This is the language and intent of both the express warranty and the implied warranty laws. We are approaching the 5th month of me not being able to use the camper. When I have used it I have experienced everything from water running in on my children in the middle of the night, our 2 week vacation to Yellowstone canceled, lost deposits, my daughters 10th birthday trip canceled, weekend family trips to the lake canceled...but I'm still making payments, paying the taxes, and paying insurance...and I don't have a trailer I can use.
I understand you truly believe you can fix the unit. At this point though I have no confidence because fixes have been attempted so many times in the past. There were multiple opportunities where the factory should have recognized that the unit had an abnormal amount of issues and had it returned back to the factory for repairs. That should have happened last year. That opportunity has now passed.
Honestly I don't believe the people at Forest River are bad people who make bad products. I just think this happens to be a bad unit and good people want to keep trying to fix it. But I am pleading with you to see the bigger picture and recognize the ongoing damage this is causing me. Please do what is right for the consumer. Either replace the unit or refund my money as I've stated in past communications.
Final Consumer Response /* (3000, 44, 2016/04/19) */
I want this reopened. The camper was not returned repaired. Once delivered back to my dealer we discovered that either there was new damage in the same locations or the previous damage was not repaired. The dealer removed the panel and discovered there was additional damage to the end table that was never repaired. I am writing this on April 18th, 2016 and haven't been able to use our camper since June 2015. That's almost a year for those who are counting. At this point we have no estimate from the dealer on when parts will be available. Those parts were discovered damaged and ordered approximately 8 weeks ago.

Thank you for the opportunity to address the concerns stated above on Mr.& Mrs. [redacted]'s trailer.
in the attached letter customer states the following:
1. 2 bad decals- bubbling and peeling- submitted for warranty work (We will repair...

or replace under factory warranty at no expense to the customer)

3. Paneling is deformed by thermostat- submitted for warranty (We will repair or replace under factory warranty at no expense to the customer)
4. Corner piece for paneling is also defective- delaminating- submitted for warranty.(We will repair or replace under factory warranty at no expense to the customer)
5. Side roof- it appears the plywood or some other material is stretching the rubber membrane- asked dealer to inspect- as I fear this is a potential issue with another hole (We will repair or replace under factory warranty at no expense to the customer)
1. Some adhesive on floor in 3 places (We will repair under factory warranty at no expense to the customer)
2. Many untrimmed threads hanging of the dinette cushions and off carpeted steps. This is part of our dealer PDI, we will ask the dealer to take care of this at no expense to the customer
3. Places where the cabinets should have been touched up with stain. This is part of the dealer PDI, we will ask the dealer to take care of this at no expense to the customer
For the main roof of the trailer Forest River's position is to make a repair. The warranty on the roof is for 12 years from date of purchase. We will pay the dealer to make a repair to the roof and continue to warranty the material. As stated in the owners manual the customer is responsible for inspecting the caulking material on the roof every 6 months and reseal as needed.
We will provide the dealer with any parts or authorization needed to make the above repairs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Subject: Revdex.com Complaint Case# [redacted] (Ref#XX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-X-XXXX)
[redacted],
Regarding our complaint XXXXXXXX. I need more information on the roof.
Your reply was as follows:
"For the main roof of the trailer Forest River's position is to make a repair. The warranty on the roof is for 12 years from date of purchase. We will pay the dealer to make a repair to the roof and continue to warranty the material. As stated in the owner's manual the customer is responsible for inspecting the caulking material on the roof every 6 months and reseal as needed."
Can you explain what you mean by repair?
Also the 12 year warranty is only on the rubber membrane and does not cover anything structural under the rubber. I believe this may already be damaged as we do not know how long the pucture was there and what may have been damaged by leaking water or if mold may now be involved.
Also we have the life time warranty that Noble offers and they will be inspecting the roof every year so we can keep the lifetime limited warranty.
Can you explain what dealer PDI is as I am not familiar with that term.
Also just so you are aware we took the camper on our 2nd trip and found the following issues.
2nd camping trip 5/27/16-5/30/16
1. Led's above slide not attached correctly cane off wall and got wrapped up in the slide. We were able to find them however not sure what is all damaged
2. Wallboard in bedroom( left off the bed) not attached correctly. It flex's over an inch and seam tape is shot.
3. Slide back end at the bottom does not close tightly. Top is tight bottom sticks out over 1 inch. Leaks inside camper.
4. Cushions on Dinette are coming apart in a few places. It appears that there is not enough material in the seam for the thread to catch. Found a ton more threads hanging off as well.
5. Underlayment or stinger not attached correctly by sliding door into garage . It makes a knocking noise every time you get close to the sliding door on either side.- this is very irritating and disappointing
6. Staple head or nail poking up in vinyl in kitchen area. Not thru yet but it appears it will be soon.
7. Waste water valve - has a broken screw and handle flaps around
I have submitted to Noble and they will be submitting these thing for warranty work as well. I have images of the issues if you wish to see.
Thank you

First, Forest River did nothing to alleviate our concern with the hold harimless for required to change the form. It was inappropriate for the need (i.e., it stated on this form that the serial number would be changed and the registration would be changed) and we were not allowed notations. We had to spend [redacted] for our attorney to review it. He ultimately have us the go ahead to sign the form in order to receive our reimbursement. Please note that we did NOT use an unauthorized service facility. The work was approved by Forest River before it was done.

It is as if they are in a different planet. It took weeks for them to respond to our calls and we have yet to schedule a date for service that in the warranty states " in a reasonable time frame " our camper has been out of commission for 6 months. Not to mention the call yesterday to "work things out" involved sending pictures and walking my husband through "temporarily" fixing the case. We will no longer be in contact with the manufacturer. We have decided to go an alternative route and our attorney will be acting on our behalf moving forward.

WE AT FOREST RIVER MARINE ALWAYS HELP WHEN EVER A SITUATION ARRISES WITH A CUSTOMER OR DEALER. 1. ON MAY 4TH 2017 WE DID ADVISE OPTIONS FOR THE CUSTOMER TO LOOK AT AND SEE WHICH WOULD BEST FIT. 2. FOREST RIVER MARINE AND THE DEALER BOTH ARE...

MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP SOLVE THE ISSUE. 3. THE DEALER AND FOREST RIVER MARINE DO FOLLOW A PROCEDURE ON ISSUES THAT ARE BIG SUCH AS THIS AND THEY WILL NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS WARRANTY OR NOT AND OR NEGLECT AND IF THEY CAN FILE A CLAIM, WHO IS DOING THE REPAIRS AND THAT IS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE DEALER AND FOREST RIVER MARINE. 4. N 5/10/17 [redacted] DID INFORM THE CUSTOMER WE COULD MOST DEFINATLEY GET THE BOAT IN SEPT FOR REPAIRS AND THAT IS THE LAST WE HAVE HEARD. THE EMAIL OF CONVERSATION IS ATTACHED.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the email from Mr. [redacted]. According to the information that we have on file here,...

the trailer was brought in for service in October of 2015 to Four Seasons RV. The dealer placed a parts order with Forest River on 10-12-2015 and the parts were shipped out to the dealer and received at their location on 10-19-2015 at 11:30 am. We do not show any other parts being ordered for this trailer from Forest River.
In regards to the tires that were on the trailer, it was determined that there was physical damage to the springs and was a factor in the tires wearing prematurely. Cheyenne Camping paid for this as this was not considered a factory defect.
At this time our position has not changed, we will be more than happy to provide the customer with an extended warranty of 6 months or reimburse them for 3 monthly payments on their trailer.
We are sorry for the inconvenience that the customer has been through and appreciate their business.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions and we would be happy to assist
Thanks

We are very reluctant to accept this offer. They have stonewalled rather than taking care of us as customers. I'm not sure where Mr. Markham is getting his data about our situation. We can only guess it is from the the two dealers that have serviced the camper. This is first time I'm hearing about physical damage to the springs caused the premature tire wear. As a matter of fact, after we installed radial tires on the trailer they have shown a normal wear pattern, which means that the bias tires that forest river put on the trailer was the problem. Also, I took numerous pictures of the springs to send to the dealer and there was no physical damage. The parts received at the dealer on October 19 2015? Not according to the dealer who I called about every two weeks for an update. They claimed forest river was slow in shipping the parts and that's why it took 4 months to fix the trailer. So, we will accept the offer, the same one they offered prior to filing this complaint and we only accept it because who knows what this trailer has in store for us next. This will at least give us enough time to trade it in on a quality brand.

If we can we would like to wave our decision on our response until the work on our motor home is completed . Forest River has agreed to authorize Camping World to do the repairs but the needed repair parts have not been sent as of yet . We would also like to inspect our motor home before our response. Thank You Ralph and [redacted]
