2021 COACHMEN ENCORE

To the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration I am submitting this formal safety complaint regarding a persistent and dangerous pattern of mechanical and electronic failures in my 2025 Hyundai Elantra N. These issues have rendered the vehicle unsafe for regular operation on public highways. ... The safety concerns began at 2810 miles when the vehicle first showed signs of structural and electronic instability. Since that initial mileage the vehicle has demonstrated a progressive inability to maintain its steering and alignment specifications which has led to unpredictable and hazardous driving conditions. By 16550 miles the steering issues became severe. The vehicle intermittently began to dart to the left or right without driver input. A diagnostic alignment check at that time confirmed multiple values were out of specification including the right front and right rear toe. These red zone readings were documented by the dealership machinery but the root cause was not corrected. Along with the steering failures the electronic systems began to malfunction. The steering wheel buttons and drive mode memory settings started resetting randomly which prevents the driver from reliably controlling vehicle configurations. As of February 28 2026 at 18037 miles the condition of the vehicle has deteriorated further. The steering system is now physically incapable of holding factory specifications for more than 30 days. In the last 1487 miles the alignment shifted from the right side of the car to the left side with the left front and left rear toe now showing failing red values. This mechanical instability causes the vehicle to wander and pull aggressively. Most critically the electronic safety systems are now failing. The Lane Keep Assist functionality frequently deactivates itself without warning or external cause. When this safety feature shuts down it often coincides with the car darting toward other lanes.Read more

Having a huge amount of probable parasitic drain. Can’t figure out where it’s coming from but killing a brand new battery in weeks

The inside of our 2021 Coachmen Encore 325 SS Motorhome gets hot around the “doghouse” area on the floor. We have used a heat sensor and it registers a temperature on the floor and around the “doghouse” at 159 degrees F. Have photo of 158.3 degrees F. We have had it in for service and it ... has been verified as being too hot, but I don’t know if the service verified the temperature. It is too hot to walk on barefoot and the 2 dogs we have stay away from the area. The unit has not been inspected by the manufacturer, etc. No warning lamps, etc, and first appeared when first used.Read more
