I am the second owner of my 2019 Imagine 19SLE. 2023 season was our first time out since we purchased it in Sept. 22. While in the upper peninsula of Michigan I noticed how much wear had occurred on the left rear tire. Also noticed from the very beginning the vial in the front {even when parked on a flat slab} was always out of level. Closer attention to the axles tracking around corners or uneven ground rose more suspicions that something was wrong. When we got back home immediately drove to the dealership where we purchased it. The technician came out to inspect and responded with the axle is bent. Further follow up with an alignment check which resulted in a twisted axle, and two flat springs. Dealership submitted for warranty coverage, denied, based on wear and tear. The five year warranty was still in effect. Not only that but the axles are underrated by 300#. Based on the tags on the axles and corresponding with the trailer tag for proper loading and cargo weights.
The cost to perform this repair is thousands of dollars.
I have to pay for it. I am going to do the work. I have the equipment and practical skills to complete the repair.
Why put back in the same rated axle and have the same issue again.
I want to bump it up to 3500#. Any issues with that conversion?
Don't agree with the reasons for being turned down on axles that were under warranty. I also have to replace two tires that only had about 10,000 miles on them.
Another lesson learned.
