  I dropped my Toyhauler off on 11/27/23 for repairs. The fiberglass was cracked and ******************************* help get the repairs scheduled and fixed. The repairs were competed and I was happy with the service and repairs at the time as it was completed repaired. I reached back out on 01/03/24 and informed ******* that the damaged to the fiberglass had reappeared and asked for help with getting the unit back in for repair. I did not immediately get a response and reached out again by email on 01/10/24. On 01/12/24 ******* responded that he would check for the next available date to bring the unit back. On 02/12/24 I reached back out because I hadn't received any follow up. On 02/15 ******* responded that he would check his schedule to see what date he had available. With no response again I reached out a final time on 03/26/24 by email letting ******* know that I have reached out multiple times with no response and asked him to let me know when I could bring the unit back in for rework. No response was received. Now I know I was being completely ignored since this time I have not gotten any response or follow up.

  I purchased a Vortex ****v on 7/28/23 from my dealer in ****************, **. Since day 1, the trailer has dog tracked (pulled sideways). I called my dealer and told them of the issue. I have had no issues with the dealer trying to help get this fixed. I've had to take the trailer to them on multiple occasions so they can do what Genesis has asked of them. Finally after taking it a few times, Genesis authorized for them to replace the axles, which they did. Unfortunately. , that still didn't correct the issue. I don't leave the trailer at the dealer any longer than necessary because the ** sun destroys trailers, so I keep having to take it back up there every time they need if for something. I understand that's my choice. Now the dealer has told me Genesis will not get back to them for what to do now. They say its a frame issue, frame company says its Genesis's issue so nobody wants to do anything. I called the main service ********************** for help. That didn't work because he said not to call him back, that he would call my dealer. That never happened. I'm afraid Genesis is hoping to drag this along past the warranty period so they wont have to do anything about it after that point. Help!!!

  My wife and I purchased a new 2023 Genesis Supreme 2916GCK on Wednesday August 16, 2023 from ** Country in ****** ******. I am filing a complaint today because some of the warranty work that was requested months ago has not yet been approved. Attempts by ** County to fix a specific manufacturing defect have gone unanswered. ******** from ** Country has been in constant communication with me throughout this process.We physically picked up the ** on Wednesday September 6, 2023, after some add-ons were installed such as solar, a camera system, tire pressure monitor, and TV/Mount in the master bedroom. To finish installing the remaining add-ons of exterior ceramic coating and tire sealant, the ** needed to be back at ** Country on Wednesday September 20, 2023. This two-week window was the perfect time for me to go through as much of the ** as possible to find any warranty issues that needed attention.One major manufacturing defect in particular, and the reason for this complaint, is the exterior wall delamination located on the rear passenger/right side of the **. ** Country is still waiting on approval for the delamination repair.The ** was dropped off for repairs on Wednesday September 20, 2023, and has been there since. The ** has been at ** Country for 20 weeks, or 140 days. The person responsible for warranty repairs at Genesis Supreme RV is *******************************. Over the course of these 140 days ******************** has only sent 3 emails to ******************** at ** Country. None of those emails gives approval for the delamination repair.Even if the repairs are started immediately, the ** will have been in the shop for almost half a year by the time the work is completed. My wife and I have not even taken the ** out for a shakedown trip. I have not yet had a chance to test the water and propane systems either so I am sure the ** will spend even more time at the dealer for repairs. By the time we get ****** back, the warranty will be half gone or more.

  We purchased our trailer in 2021 new off the lot. Since then we have encountered issues with peeling cabinets and laminate discoloration. We had the cabinets fixed one already (it looks worse now) and the laminate has discolored to a pink color in certain areas. I have reached out previously but received no response.

  Like so many others, we wanted to purchase a new trailer so we could avoid the pitfalls (repairs, cost, risk) of purchasing used. We couldn't have been more wrong. We purchased a brand new Genesis Supreme toy hauler (from RV Country) in May of 2023. We paid 50k for this trailer and added all of the warranties. We regretted it within a week of purchase and continue to be disappointed. It started with finding the chain that works the bed in back (that converts the garage to living space) was broken, during our walk through when we picked it up. The dealer told us it would take 3 month to get the part to fix that, meaning right out the gate we'd miss out on camping for an entire summer season. (later found that all they needed was a chain we found at a local hardware store) At the same time we pointed out a crack in the shower basin, which would also take weeks to get replaced. Then the decals started peeling (had them replaced a couple months ago, that took weeks, and they're peeling again already) drawer bottoms falling out, radio stopped working. Now the propane tanks/connections failed and no propane was getting to the necessary components. The fridge stopped working and hot water heater is broken. After spending so much time taking the trailer back and forth from the dealership just to get some of the initial issues fixed, (not to mention the POOR customer service at the dealership) we're facing the choice of missing out on yet another summer camping season so we can fight with the dealership again to fix it, or just deal with it ourselves. That's a completely unacceptable choice to face given the amount of money we spent, including the added costs for extended warranty coverage. If I knew repairs would take months, I wouldn't have bothered. In fact, I wish we'd never stepped foot in that RV Country and just stuck to tents for camping. At least we'd get to actually go camping and wouldn't be throwing away 50K+ interest.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  While someone from Genesis did contact us, they were not able to resolve any of our issues. I was mistaken on the date of purchase, it was actually 2021 that we purchased our trailer. However, the details remain the same. The trailer had issues the day we did the walk through and the repairs took weeks. There are still issues that haven't been resolved and the issues just keep piling up. And the response from Genesis was pretty much, "you're out of warranty, sorry". A 1 year warranty on a 50k item is a bit absurd, but I guess I should have done my homework. We purchased extended warranties, apparently that's through the dealer and not Genesis, so we'll take that up with them. 

  I will stand by my complaint because I want other consumers to beware when looking to purchase an RV or trailer. If I had known or read complaints like this before purchasing I certainly would NOT have purchased brand new. I've since read over a dozen similar complaints on both Genesis and other manufacturer's trailers. Demand was high, staffing was low, so these companies cut corners to keep production up (breaking records even, according to one article I read). We, the consumers, paid the price. To say we "should know better" or do our homework is not an acceptable response in my opinion. If we're going to spend that kind of money, we should get better quality products and not a "not our problem anymore" type of response when things go wrong. 

  If anything, we as consumers can look out for each other by using our voices to make other consumers aware of these things and hopefully save someone else from making a similar mistake. I definitely learned a hard lesson. If even one person sees/reads about my experience and makes a different choice, it'll be worth the effort and time it took to submit this complaint.

  On April 29, 2022 I purchased my 1st brand new RV from Richardson RV (now camping world). It is a Genesis Vortex 2814IKS Toyhauler. I paid $100,006 for it. I bought it new with the idea that I wouldn't have any problems like I would with a used unit. Boy was i wrong. The day I brought it home the heater didn't work and the outside speakers sounded like they were blown. It took 9 phone calls and several threats to get somebody to come get it and bring it back to fix the wiring on it. It turned out the speaker issue was due to a bad receiver. They gave me a new one and I installed it. After 1 trip, the Dometic 4 door fridge stopped getting cold and ruined all my food and had to buy coolers for the rest of the trip. When I got home I returned the RV to the service department (now Camper Land) . They had the RV for over a month and replaced the thermister, a $10 part that took a month for some reason. The stereo wasn't working right again so they "fixed" it and now the outside speakers sound blown again. They charges me $340 because they said i tampered with the stereo and because i tried to replace the thermister myself. The fridge didn't work on my next trip 2 weeks later. Again I brought it back. It took almost a month to get Dometic to agree the fridge cooling unit is bad and now it will be another month before i can get the RV back to repair it. i have canceled 3 vacations now. I picked it up today with the fridge not working until they can get the part... NOW the stereo is on 100% volume all the time and even though the volume numbers go down on the receiver the volume doesnt.. Whats next?? is their some type of Lemon Law that comes into play at some point? I've taking this thing less that 400 miles and had many problems already. I will be happy to upload receipts etc if this would get anywhere.

  Purchased a slightly used 2020 genesis supreme toy hauler for 35k in the spring of 2022. Over the winter the large roof seals completely failed, large enough for my hand to completely fit in the crack where the seal was along the roof line. This lead to water, snow, ice making its way down into the walls of the trailer and it pulling apart at the seams. The trailer is severely damaged, and possibly totaled as the extent of the damage require the entire trailer to be opened up. When I reached out to genesis they say the seals are entirely up to the customer to maintain, and recommend servicing them every 3 months, they are not standing behind the product at all, That is absolutely ridiculous for a 2 year old rv trailer to have manufacturer seals fail as bad as they did. Seems they are manufacturing a poor product and know it and cover their behind by saying to service the seals every 3 months. Why are the seals losing adhesion that fast? Poor quality sealant? Not scuffing the fiberglass to ensure adhesion where the sealant is applied?

  Bought a brand new 2022 genesis 2214LE I have had it for two weeks. By the 3rd day having it I found so many things wrong with it. Electrical outlet doesn’t work medicine cabinet falling off the wall the shower hose broke multiple holes in the wall that they attempted to be patch the blinds fell off the wall the luggage racks fell off the wall and broke my teeth both the kitchen and bathroom sink leaked water in the cabinet last but not least the shower had water leaking behind the wall and flooded the entire front of the trailer. We are living in this trailer and now have been displaced without a home. Unable to shower broken teeth and unable to get help. My wife suffers from medical issues and now I have to worry about dealing with mold. I want this trailer gone. After multiple calls to the dealer I finally got the manufacture to agree to pick the trailer up and attempt to fix it. I’m so unhappy with this product someone needs to take responsibility for these issues. Someone could be injured and suffer health issues this company has terrible products and no one wants to stand behind them. I spent 40k on this trailer. The photos attached are the issues and the water leak on the wood.

  Purchased a 2022 Genesis Supreme Vortex toy hauler fifth wheel in November 2021. Vin number is 7hn3fen26np473314. Brought the trailer home from **** Az. and have not been able to camp in it since. It has been at a Genesis dealership for minor repairs since January 24, 2022. I have received conflicting reasons why it has been nearly 2 months and the trailer has not been repaired. The dealership said repeatedly they are waiting on parts. They gave me the Genesis phone number ***************). Genesis told me parts had been sent weeks ago. Back to dealership, they told me they received one part (hubcap) and were told to repair window and OTA antenna. The window will not open and the metal top pulled loose while trying to open. They state they can fix the window but the broken antenna mount needs replaced. The antenna was damaged during construction. ****** says they are waiting on authorization to repair window and parts. Dealership claims to have had no further response from Genesis, and sent another request yesterday, 3/17/22. Dealership is RV Country, *******, OR. **************. No mention has been made of the problem with the ****** ***** stopped working on second day and did not work for 2 week, and has not worked properly since, ***** came on and went off when I turned on/off a light switch and had other problems. One last thought, I chose a Genesis over an Eclipse trailer due to your rating of Genesis and others that rated Eclipse very poorly. Please contact me if you need more information. Any help you can give to expedite the repair and return of my trailer would be greatly appreciated.

  Genesis supreme did not follow safety protocols or quality check during or following manufacturing of my trailer. This resulted in the brakes locking up and me and my family being stranded in Colorado. After receiving no support or information regarding possible solutions, without the help of genesis we had the trailer towed to the nearest dealer for repairs on 7/15/21. Genesis refused to approve diagnostic testing and tried to get camping world to charge me for the testing for 2 months before agreeing to pay for 2 hours. The results revealed that the brakes weren't properly installed and could have resulted in death or significant injuries. After another month, they have failed to deliver the parts to camping world. They do not communicate with me or answer my calls. They did finally agree to reimburse me for travel expenses, but their indifference towards repair or delivery of my trailer may render me and my family homeless at the end of the month. I want this resolved.

  I respect this.  I did get a email finally from the service center yesterday that they do have the axel parts from Lippert  but since they lost the initial parts for other small items needed they said they will wait to receive all parts in order to get unit completed. We shipped out new parts early last week and UPS tracking shows that they are behind schedule so hopefully delivers soon so we can move forward. Plan once unit is complete is still to take the unit to her selling dealer in AZ so they can review and present unit back to customer.
