2 complaints about the 2010 Dynamax Isata
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Dangerous steering problems related to airlift rear air suspension system. Fragile sensor support bracket broke off when new, causing the magnetic sensor to command the left rear airbag to inflate and deflate erratically. With each inflation, the vehicle swerves to the right, each deflation causes the vehicle to swerve to the left. Impossible to remain in a single lane. Extraordinarily dangerous situation. All 2010 dynamax isata 282s should be ordered off the roads. Emergency recall recommended. *Kb
We have just purchased a new 28' 2010 dynamax isata rv, model 282 and suggest that a recall of this class of vehicle for a steering problem. At 45 mph or less, steering is normal, at 55 mph it is bad, at 65 mph, it's like driving on ice, super scary. At 70, it's outright terrifying. I have driven large motorhomes for more than 11 years and never was so scared on the interstates. I weighed the vehicle at a cat scale with no personal stuff onboard and only 1/2 tank of gasoline. The total gross weight was 13,600...

lbs, with 4540 lbs on the front axle and 9060 on the drive axle. On that basis, at rest, 1/3 of the weight is on the front axle and 2/3 on the rear. Underway as speed increases, with the air flow effect and the leverage of all the heavy weights 6 to 8 feet behind the rear axle, the front wheels make less and less contact with the road surface. If you do not act, somebody will get killed. *Tr
