Strange voice warning, (Are they coming from my head) ?

Hello, I am posting this inquiry for a friend who is not yet a member of ORF. (but I am forcing her to join soon, hahaha).

A couple of weeks ago she purchased a brand new 2018 Dynamax Isata Series 3, From Dillon RV in Westminister, Ca. A few days after the purchase she took her "Maiden Voyage" of 2000 miles, and has just returned.

Naturally, She has a few issues with this new rig that popped up during her trip. I'm sure I will be inquiring here on some of the other issues later, but for now I would like to find out if anyone has ever had this particular experience or have any knowledge about it.

She explained to me that while driving the rig at normal highway speeds, and in normal good road and weather conditions, she would hear a voice speaking, (I'm assuming from some sort of on-board systems?). This voice would repeat periodically, but not necessarily at any identifiable or specific intervals or condition(s).

The voice would say, "Warning, You are in RV Violation".
So before anyone says it,.... Yes,... I know this sounds nuts, but this is what it is saying.

There were no accompanying indications like warning lights on the dash, or no handling or vehicle performance issues, no rattles, no shakes, no NOTHING. Just this strange voice is all.

Can anyone here shed some light on this ?
Has anyone ever heard of this ?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

PS- Yes,... She is sitting here next to me as I type this, and Yes,... we are getting a kick out of how this must sound as a crazy question, LOL !

She is laughing while asking me, "Are these just voices in my head ?" hahaha.
  • Interesting. Please give us an update when your friend figures out if it's the RV or, she's losing it. :)
    I agree, it sounds like some sort of GPS warning. Maybe it's automatic and can't be turned off for safety reasons?
  • Does the unit have some sort of GPS system that warns you of potential hazardous conditions ahead based on the route you're on?
    Or, could it be some sort of toll road warning message from the same type of built in navigation system?

    First time I've ever heard of anything like that.
