Example complaints
Brakes: “Automatic parking brake failure--brake engaged while motorhome in motion, causing brake pads and drum to severly overheat, ruining components and making parking brake inoperative. Apparently, a pressure sensing switch began leaking fluid, which caused the brakes to engage while my wife was driving down the highway. At the first available GM dealership, they diagnosed the failed pressure switch, but were unable to replace it. They disconnected the parking brake system, but told my wife that the unit was safe to operate, that the transmission would hold the vehicle when placed in park. …”
