Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
1998: “I was going down a hill and applied the brakes and the brake calipers on the front did not fully release. The brakes got real hot ,boiling the brake fluid out of the system. The brake pedal started going almost to floor , causing me to have a hard time stopping. It ruined the brake pads, melted the ABS sensors, and ruined the bearing. I had to replace the calipers, pads, bearing and ABS sensors.”
NHTSA complaint #10316696, filed 2010-03, 33,150 miles1999: “When I placed the Motor Home in park the driveshaft locked up and was unable to get it into any gear. I had to have the Motor Home towed to a dealer and after three hours of trying to find the problem, they said the auto park hydraulic pump needed to be replaced. I will have them save the part.”
NHTSA complaint #10086358, filed 2004-08, 10,762 miles1997: “Auto park brake fails to hold vehicle on incline. With transmission in park the brake is supposed to engage. It does engage, but fails to hold on hills. This has happened every time we try to park on a slope. I use a set of wheel chocks to help keep the motorhome from rolling.”
