2022 Jayco REDHAWK problems and owner complaints

I was driving slowly looking for an open gas station on a highwsy in Va. i attempted to make a left hand turn when i heard a snapping sound. I then had a complete loss of power steering and braking capacity. I started rolling across the highway mashing the brakes and finally put my Ebrake on stopping my RV. There were not any lights lit up on the dashboard before or after this incident. If i was going 70 down a busy highway, the outcome of this incident would be much different. My children would be planning my funeral today.

THE CRACKS FORMED ON TOP CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CAB ON BOTH SIDES AROUND HALFWAY FROM THE ROOF LINE AND THE CURVED AREA. INSTEAD OF SOME RANDOM FIBERGLASS CRACKS THIS CRACKS APPEAR TO ME MORE OF A STRESS RELATED PROBLEM OR SOME TYPE OF STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN DESIGN AS THEY APPEARED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAB AND RE-APPEAR AFTER REPAIRS. THE FIRST CRACKS WERE NOTED IN FEB 2015 ON THE…
