Windshield wipers keep getting stuck. Passenger side gets stuck down and Driver side get stuck up. We have to pull over on side the rode and fix them. It causes a visibility issue. It also causes a risk for accidents pulling over. I have contacted Thor this morning also. We are waiting on a response from them.

NHTSA complaint 11090668THE ENTRY DOOR LATCH HAD A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT BROKE OFF AND GOT STUCK AND PREVENTED US FROM OPENING THE DOOR. A LOCKSMITH GAINED ENTRY AND REMOVED THE PLASTIC PIECE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THOR MOTORHOMES THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN STUCK INSIDE DURING A LIFE SAFETY EMERGENCY. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTE IT IN OUR FILE. THAT DOESN'T HELP ANYONE ELSE.THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THOR OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND POSTED ON THE THOR MOTORHOME OWNERS FACEBOOK PAGE.
