Jayco Precept Visibility problems by year

I purchased this 2026 Jayco Precept 34G Class A motorhome new in May 2026. During the first approximately 1,000 miles, it exhibited severe steering/handling instability requiring constant correction at highway speeds. As a first-time Class A owner, I initially thought this might be normal and continued operating it with family aboard. On [redacted], a Ford commercial service center inspected the motorhome and documented missing steering-stabilizer hardware, specifically a missing nut, and a bent stabilizer shock....

Wipers not working and no replacement part made anymore. My wiper relay module went bad and the wipers are not working. I contacted Jayco and was told to order a aftermarket harness and modify it. No servicing dealer will do this for me, making the rv a unsafe to drive in rain conditions. This is a big issue that I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue. They had a recall on later models for a similar issue.

Windshield wiper system worked intermittently for the last couple of years. Now it the windshield wiper system doesn't work at all.

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.

Component: Windshield wipers stopped during Interstate driving in a thunderstorm/heavy rain. It is available for inspection upon request. Visibility was reduced to near zero, putting myself and other drivers at a significantly increased risk of a crash. I steered to the emergency lane and stopped until the rain lessened, then crept to the next exit (<0.25 mi) to a Love's Truck Stop. The passenger wiper arm had slipped to a downward position completely off the windshield, but both wipers were inoperative. I found a...

I purchased a 2017 Jayco Precept 36T on 9/16/2017 and have had issues with it, most that have been handled by Jayco, including a slideout. However, the Windshield Wipers have been a problem for the last 3 years that I have owned it. The Driver's Side Wiper, when being operated, goes too far to the side and goes off the vehicle, flopping off to the side. Camping World has tried to repair it several times, supposedly with Jayco's help, and has failed every time. Open Roads tried to repair it and failed on their first attempt. I am taking it back to them and verifying that they contact Jayco for help in repairing it correctly.

When driving in heavy rain with the wipers on high they will hit each other. Thus, coming lose. It only does it when there is rain and wind while driving even at just 50 mph. Dealership sprayed hose on it and could not replicate the effect. Well drive it and you will see. Terrible to spend over137k for something I can't drive in a rain storm.

Drivers windshield wiper flops all the way to the far left at highway speeds and past the edge of the windshield, catching and marring the window and flipping the wiper arm making it useless. Cannot use the wiper.*Dt*jb

This complaint is in reference to the driver's side windshield wiper. During highway use in the rain the windshield wiper and arm malfunctions and swings too far to the left actually leaving the windshield and wrapping around the left driver's side window. The wiper then slams against the left side of the windshield as it actuates back to the right causing scratches and damage to the windshield and the wiper arm to bounce across the window and not wipe the rain away from the windshield. This reduces visibility...

During heavy rains the wipers stopped working. The controls activate but the controller / motor doesn't move the wiper blades.

On 5/26/2020 my husband & I were driving home from gilroy, ca with our new 2019 jayco precept prestige motorhome. We were heading nb on i-55 (50-55mph) crossing from missouri into illinois (collinsville area) & a heavy hauler carrying concrete, was speeding sb on i-55 (65 mph at least) in a construction zone, jacked knifed his vehicle to avoid slamming into stop/slowed traffic. In doing so, he went into center median causing the posted 55 mph speed sign with photo enforced attached to top of sign, along with a...

The first time the windshield wipers failed was in oct 2018. I was returning from a trip and was in colorado when it started raining and light snow. I noticed was the drivers side wiper blade was coming away from the wiper arm. I pulled over 3 times in the rain on interstate 70 to try to attach it. As I was continuing on my trip in had just gotten on the south bound interstate 15 in utah when the entire wiper assembly suddenly flopped to the outside of the motorhome. It was no longer working. I had to find an off...

When traveling at highway speed'with the windshield wipers on high speed, the driver side wiper blade an arm lift away from the windshield, slamming back down when it reaches the far left end of its travel. The wiper arm lifting from the windshield results in restricted visibility as there is no clearing of the windshield.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jayco precept. While driving approximately 65 mph in the rain, the windshield wipers stopped operating without warning. The contact had to pull the vehicle over and wait until the rain stopped. The contact called camping world of charleston (8155 rivers ave north, charleston, sc 29406, 888-471-3171) and was advised to schedule an appointment.
