Latest Forza complaints
Dashboard display is de laminating. Freighter says it is not covered because warranty has expired. It is only 5 years old. Others have had the same problem.
The digital dash instrument panel screen is delaminating.
Delamination of instrument cluster, difficult to read air pressure, engine & transmission temp, engine tach. This is an ongoing problem, seems to be increasing area of distortion. First noticed 9/2024 approximate date.
The contact owns a 2017 Winnebago Forza built on a 2017 Freightliner XC-S Chassis. The contact stated that the rear brake lights and left turn signals failed to function as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The RV was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the power distribution module failed and needed to be replaced. The RV was not repaired due to the VIN not being included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V582000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System), nor 20V404000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.
This is my 3rd complaint. Nothing has been done by the manufacturer at this point. While on a trip from St Charles MO to Golden CO in early Sept 23, several retaining screws began falling from the visor area. This assembly is large and heavy and includes a bunk bed over the driver and front passenger seats. A good handful of screws fell to the dash below during this trip. Our fear is this assembly fill come lose and cause the driver to lose control. This issue has caused us to cancel another trip and park it until issues are resolved. Please help. This vehicle is very dangerous.
This complaint is about broken welds on the Superstructure (The framing that runs the length of the Motor Home (RV). It is attached to the chassis frame rails and supports the entire Motor Home including any cargo and equipment like the Fresh Water tanks (100 gallons) Black and Grey waste tanks. It is the backbone of the construction process and supports several thousand pounds and is under incredible stress especially when this 40 foot Motor Home with a dry weight of in in motion. This vehicle has a GVWR of...

29,410 lbs. I took the vehicle down to McClain's RV center located in Corinth, TX (DFW Metroplex) to repair 2 slide-outs that were not functioning correctly on August 7th, 2023. I arrived that evening and set the vehicle up on one of the dealerships RV pads that has both water and electric hook-ups. Before going to sleep, I attempted to put some water into the onboard 100 gallon water tank as I normally do not travel with much due to decreased MPG and weight of water. I was unable to get any water into the tank, so I just switched the valve to open and just had the water running straight from the City hook up into the coach via a "City water" hook-up and went to bed. Next morning, I attempted to fill the onboard tank again with what appeared to be no results. I then took a shower. The service manager & I went to lunch before checking my unit in. We were notified during lunch that my vehicle was overflowing onto the ground. We returned and the water had dissolved from the concrete. Further inspection by myself and the Shop Manager reveled that the fresh water tank had collapsed the floor and superstructure steel flat and angle iron bars and was nearly on the ground. If this had happened in motion, someone could have been killed. The broken welds had complete surface rust indicating the welds had been broke and other welds broke in route causing the Superstructure failure. I suspect other welds are bad and fear for our safety and the safety of the public!!!!
