“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10042938, filed 2003-10, 49,876 miles“I put my 1996 class a motor home in auto-park at a dump site. I got out of the seat to dump my tanks and my wife warned me we were rolling. I was able to stop the vehicle before it hit any thing. The auto park light was on and when I put the vehicle in gear I could hear the auto park disengaging, but it was never on. Vehicle rolls away when it should be in park and the dash states it is in park. I have to have my wife keep her foot on the brake while I put blocks in front and behind the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away.”
NHTSA complaint #10082298, filed 2004-07, 28,000 miles“Auto park system on my 1996 rexhall motorhome has applied itself when the system is hot after a number of hours of driving. It has happened to me when backing, but I have read and heard of numerous occasions when it has happened to motorhomes when moving forward at highway speed.”
