As we are driving down the freeway/ highway our national seabreeze rv loses power. we are coasting dead with no power and would have to coast to the shoulder. This has happened a number of times. We have had our ignition switch replaced three (3) time and we're never told there was a recall. I was talking to a friend describing our situation and he told us we should look into recalls under burned parst of the ignition switch. I called gm to discuss what was going on with my rv and gave them my vin number. I was told that they did not see any recalls on what I'D described and they referred me to this page. So here I am writing this complaint and hoping we can get some resolve.
