LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
The blind spot monitors on the Ekko suddenly failed. The system provides no warning, any longer, of approaching, or passing vehicles. I belong to an Ekko users group and have found from other owners that this is a common problem with these vehicles. The BSM's suddenly cease to operate and continue to break down, even after being "fixed" by dealers.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
This is allegedly related to the Balmar relay system installed by Winnebago in the Ford Transit van.It is currently at the dealer, Colonial Winnebago, in Millstone Twp., NJ. Dealer can be contacted for inspection. We began traveling at a 25 mph speed for about 2 miles when smoke began to flow from under the hood. We pulled over to inspect; 911 was called. Smoke and flames under the hood were visible and continued until the fire truck came and extinguished the fire. Our safety and the safety of others was put at risk as the unit did not display any warning signs on the dashboard, there was a fire and smoke under the hood, we were in a public parking lot, and the unit carries 2 20 lb. propane tanks. Problem was diagnosed by our local Ford dealer, who stated that this is a Winnebago issue, as this was a Winnebago specific modification to the Ford. Unit was not drivable and needed to be towed to Winnebago dealer for service. They know about this issue - and have known for some time - but have not yet released the recall. We do not know at this time when the unit can be repaired. I do not know who has inspected the vehicle other than the Ford dealer and Winnebago dealer. No other warning signs or symptoms before the incident occurred.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
Blind Spot Monitor stopped working after driving in the rain. The warranty dealer said that the rear sensors 'went out' because of the moisture. Currently still waiting for repairs. Driving an RV without a BSM is more difficult. We had to install a full time, rear view camera, to supplement the non working BSM. There were no other warnings before the system went out. However I'm are aware of many other Winnebago Ekkos with similar problems from reading about the failures on Facebook owners groups. May have been repaired multiple times Our '22 Winnebago Ekko Serial number is 106112170105

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The Balmar charge controller for the coach lithium batteries failed. The controller is rated for temperatures up to 90 C (194 F). Based on Ekko forum discussions I suspected the controller, which is located in close proximity to the passenger side turbocharger was overheating. I fashioned an improvised heat shield between the turbocharger and controller and after driving in 74 F ambient conditions measured temperatures of 285 F on the heat shield and 185 F at the controller surface. I also added heat shielding to the controller wiring, which is also very close to the turbocharger. Clearly without owner-added heat shielding, (and even with during higher than 74 F ambient temperatures) the controller is far exceeding it's allowable temperature maximum.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Driving on interstate with cruise control suddenly for no reason the vehicle self brakes hard. Luckily no other vehicles close by. Able to get vehicle to shoulder (lucky shoulder and driving in right lane). We have collision assist and ABS with cruise adaptive. It’s obvious that it malfunctioned and we are very lucky. Called WInnebago and they said this is Ford Chassis- called Ford and they said they would get back to me! We were afraid to travel On but did and it hasn’t malfunctioned again. We also read that we could turn the system off, which we now did. Ford rep should have immediately told us to turn it off for our safety. Instead we haven’t heard a word back from Ford.
