Service advance trac ABS light In cross winds the system fails. Wind from either side The important stability control fails when you need it the most. ABS light is self explanatory. Called Ford and lady said she hears this issue a lot She mentioned that eventually it will disable the Rv. I’m in places where there is no phone service. Will be taking it in, but most people reported they throw parts at it and no fix.
THE FRAMELESS RV WINDOWS ARE COMING LOOSE AND IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GLASS ADHESIVE THAT HOLD THE INNER PANE TO THE OUTER PANE, IT IS FAILING AND CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. NUMEROUS OTHER RV OWNERS WITH THESE WINDOWS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
