Itasca Horizon Problems by year

This complaint is about the cummins isl engine failures. A light on our dash pinged and flashed. I called freightliner and was told it was a stop engine light. I was told it was probably a "glitc" and it was okay to drive. However, we took it into a freightliner/cummins repair facility to just check it out. They found that the oil pressure was fine, no problem with the sending unit, or the dash instrument cluster, so they dropped the oil pan. They found that a thrust bushing had fallen off one of the crankshaft...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 itasca horizon equipped with synergy ap400 tires (na), size: 295/75/r22.5 (Na). While driving 55 mph, an abnormal noise was observed and the front passenger side tire tread began to separate. The tire was not diagnosed, but was repaired by roadside assistance. Due to the failure, the bottom of the rv was damaged. The manufacturer of the tire was not notified. The tire failure mileage was approximately 1,500 and the vehicle failure mileage was approximately 58,500.

Our motorhome had a hamsar electro-magnetic flasher which is used to make the hazard lights and left/right signal blink. It is located in the fuse box in the outside compartment, near driver's side. It started smoking and smelled burned, lots of smoke started coming into the motorhome. The hazard were not in use at the time - we were just parked and it was off. We removed the device and it was entirely melted. Not sure what caused this, but if we were not in the vehicle at the time it started burning/melting, it would have caused a fire. I have a picture of this if needed. *Tr

While on a trip in our motor home, we heard an intermittent grinding sound. We immediately took the unit to an rv dealer, who after discussion of the issue, advised us to take it to a freightliner dealer. Freightliner discovered that the rear axle on the driver's side had shifted backwards, and was causing the wheel to grind against the wheel well. They also discovered two bolts were loose and a third bolt was missing entirely. They indicated that this could only have emanated from the factory. They also...

Dt: the contact owns a 2005 winnebago itasca horizon 40fd. The motor home has a problem with the hot air exchange that goes to the furnace; the pipes are not hooked up and it is sending all of the hot air into the vehicle. This is not only a problem with carbon monoxide but also a fire hazard. He has contacted the dealership who contacted the manufacturer and they were going to correct the problem. The dealership told the consumer that they have had multiple problems with these motor homes. He felt that they should fix all models of these motor homes because of the safety issue. This problem has existed since the second day of purchase. *Ak *mr *jb

Winnebago (itasca) is manufacturing their rv's with an improper door latch mechenism! This lead to loud squeaking to the point it is a danger to the ears of the people that pay $100,000 to $250,000 for a vehicle. When contacted their service manager in iowa stated that they could fix this for free. However since I said I would contact the florida lemon law they would not fix mine for free but would charge me. I had to get this fixed or not use my rv. They did charge me well over $125 for fixing this problem. This was taken to the dealer six times prior to me finally having to pay for this repair.
