Example complaints

“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.”
