Example complaints
Brakes: “I have a 1997 rexhall motorhome on a 1996 p-30 Chevrolet chassis. The auto park brake, at times, comes on when in reverse or drive stopping the vehicle very abruptly. I am very concerned that this is going to happen at highway speeds and someone in the motorhome or following to close will be injured and/or killed!! I have tried to have this situation taken care of but the dealers I have spoken with don't seem to have the knowledge or information they needed to remedy the problem. …”
