“I have a p-30 Chevrolet chassis with a class a motorhome on it. The unit is a 1994 manufactured unit. I have had continuous failures of the automatic park system. The unit was diagnosed under warranty initially in 1995. I donot use the unit continuously but everytime I try to back up when the engine is hot it locks. 2 years ago (2002) going thru roswell, nm as I was driving down a city street the unit locked up stopping the coach in the middle of the street.”
NHTSA complaint #10086793, filed 2004-08, 54,000 miles“1994 dolphin motor home on chevy p-32032 chassi with auto parking brake. I am having problems with this parking brake and have read about all the problems with this brake system and the call for a recall on this system. This scares the hell out of me, storys of the parking brake coming on at 60 MPH others of the brake not working when parked. I understand there was a recall of this chassi & brake problem with some commercial vehicles, if this is the case how about a recal on the hundreds of thousands and possible millions of motor homes that use this chassi and emergency brake system. …”
NHTSA complaint #10081296, filed 2004-07, 25,000 miles“Chevrolet p-30 motor home - failure of automatic parking brake. Loss of system pressure caused sudden lock up of rear wheels. Since original failure of pressure maintenance switch (leak) I carry a spare with me at all times. Switch has failed three times. The actuation switch located near the base of the steering column failed once and also caused drive line lockup (this occurred on an international bridge between canada and the us causing me to block traffic for considerable time). Fortunately, none of the failures occurred under conditions where the sudden stop resulted in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10045288, filed 2003-11, 39,934 miles“Motorhome on the P30 chassis has a hydraulically controlled parking brake. A pressure switch on the auto park brake failed, causing emergency brake to be activated. The design of the parking brake system renders the vehicle dangerous to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10225807, filed 2008-04, 49,000 miles“Intermittently when brakes are applied, the pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has been notified. Consumer states that the brakes seem to heat up and then all stopping power is lost.”
