We purchased this motorhome in october 2005 from lazydays rv center in seffner, fl and the recall 05v053000 was done. on april 27, 2007 we took the coach to monaco coach corporation for service because we had received a recall notice same as above. on 04/17/07 monaco checked for recall and said it was done. on 08/09/2007 we were driving on an interstate in the state of or and the rv started to sway and felt like it was going to turn over. We were going slow enough to gain control and stop the vehicle. On 08/10/2007 henderson's line up diagnosis the problem as broken trailing arm and installed the recall kit. On 11/11/2013 we were traveling on alt 27 toward williston, fl at 55 mph and the rv began to sway and the trailing arm broke in half. The people behind us said the wheels lift of the ground on the right hand side. we gained control and pulled to side of road. had rv towed to alliance coach service center where they diagnosed broken trailing arm. this IS the same problem as the recall 05v053000 that has been fixed already 3 times. who IS responsible of the repair? This will be the 4TH time this recall has been addressed. We feel even with the repair made this coach IS not safe to drive. IS something else causing the trailing arm problem or IS this coach just a lemon? *tr
