To Brett and others that may be concerned; my 2008 Neptune broke the trailing arms and separated from the rear axle at approx 50/55 mph on a tight curve on rt 690 in Syracuse,NY. A sudden pulsing motion, squirrely steering, warning lites and loud noises. We ground to a halt in the busy highway. After sitting for a few minutes to regain senses, found oil running out of back of motorhome and MH sitting very low in rear. Troopers had to block off two lanes from approx 8 PM May 11 to 3 AM May 12. We were 50 miles from home and still alive so getting home by 5AM was the second good thing that happened. Researching this calamity has led me to this site and Monaco RV and Source Mfg and FMCA. WOW, I cant believe that an American company can get away with building such a dangerous problem for seven years. Research tells me in writing from 2002 to 2009. NAVISTAR may have no legal responsibility but it sure does have a moral one. There was no semi behind us nor on the side of us, but there could have been. I went to church Sunday and said thank you. After I get back to the truck shop and have a plan, I will get back to you with my experience. In the meantime I urge all Holiday Rambler, Safari and Monaco owners to get their MH checked. Nobody is going to warn you at this time. The old Monaco is bankrupt / gone and NAVISTAR RV APPARENTLY COULD GIVE A DAM. JOE L
