'06 Mountaineer 329RLS falling apart
Just returned from a 5 week trip out west. This was our second "lengthy" trip and our '06 Mountaineer is literly falling apart
The most serious was the spare tire cable breaking, alowing the spare to bounce around underneath wiping out the rear underbelly and damaging the rear frame work.
Luckily a female motorist told us of the spare bouncing across the highway, through a ditch and finally landing on a side gravel road. She was kind enough to lead us to where she last saw it and we were able to retrieve the tire and wheel intact.
Were we lucky or what? Can you imagine a 16" tire/wheel combonation bouncing down the highway and into your windshield?
For some funny reason I suspect I will get some kind of an argument from my selling dealer on the extensive repairs. I hope I'm wrong.
Some of the other problems: window valance came separated from the wall, loss of dc power in the bathroom, ceiling bow coming loose, glass globe on living area fixture keeps falling off, living area carpet has many large bubbles, etc, etc.
Very discouraging, as the first trip gave us 0 problems.
