The heat shield on the floor of the passenger side is missing near the exhaust manifold. The shield cable for the batteries and other wiring has melted and shorted some wires. The heat was so hot that it melted the plastic storage compartment also and exposed the vehicle to exhaust gases and heat. This is an extreme safety hazard as the vehicle could catch on fire. I am scared to drive the vehicle.
We have multiple issues with cylinder misfire codes. The smart junction box, wiring and spark plugs have been replaced but we repeatedly take our motorhome to ford for repairs. At only 5600 miles we have not been able to travel consistently.

Since june, 2016, my brand new jayco precept 31ul motorhome has been at the manteca rv dealership while multiple issues are being addressed. When driving it, the rv constantly wandered on the road lane, requiring constant correction to keep it tracking in a straight line. The dangerous problem with steering was referred to an alignment shop in manteca. The recommended fix was repair of the cambers. This has resulted in the steering wheel now out of place. This steering wheel problem was discussed ford, the...

manufacturer of the chassis, as jayco felt ford should "fix" it. Ford said it was fine when sold to jayco. It is not their responsibility to "fix" it. Jayco is now saying it's not their responsibility either. The steering wheel was in normal steering position until the alignment shop did the camber repair. It is jayco's responsibility to repair this. The steering problem is not the only problem with my rv. It is also an issue for other owners of the 2016 jayco precept 31ul. It appears to be a defect in the manufacturing. I question whether this construction will ever be completely able to work as expected. When we had the use of the motorhome for four days in august (while we were still waiting for the additional problems to be corrected), we drove to southern oregon. At one point in the trip, we heard several very loud banging noises - like bolts popping - underneath the passenger side in the motor location. I don't trust the construction of this motorhome. It is very apparent that quality control was completely missing when this rv was manufactured. We have used it for five days total. The rest of the time, it has been at manteca rv. Now jayco is refusing responsibility for the steering wheel problem. We have not driven the rv since the camber "fix" that has now caused the steering wheel situation.
