I purchased a 2008 Dynamax Grand Sport from Richardson’s RV in August of 2007, I have taken one trip with it back in November of 2007 and that is when it broke down first in Texas. The Transmission was stuck in low gear and then intermittently would shift completely out of gear while on the freeway. The coach was taken to the local Freightliner dealer and they added fluids and sent us on our way home.
The problem occurred as we arrived home. The coach has been in and out of the shop for this same problem over 5 times now. In fact it was in the shop from the end of November 2008 through the end of January 2008. To date the problem still exists and numerous trips have had to be canceled.
No one will take responsibility for the issue as we have asked them to buy the coach back under the California Lemon Laws states they must.
Dynamax is blaming Freightliner and Freightliner is blaming Allison, and the Dealer Richardson’s RV what a joke they will not accept any responsibility.
I find it hard to believe that you can spend well over $400, 000 on a Coach and get this type of service from the Dealer and the Manufacture. I feel very fortunate that California has strict Lemon Laws that cover RV’s and attorneys file the suits to get your $$$ back.
