“Engine stopped once in the road pulling a 40 ft.r.v. .intermintley severe loss of power and trying to overheat. Comeing down a 7200 ft. Mountain I lost the r.v. Brakes,engine brakes & the tow haul mode (to help slow down) all I had was the truck brakes going around 80 m.p.h. By the time I got stopped all 4 wheels were smokeing cooking the related parts, rotors, brake pads, calipers,wheel bearings in my opinion.later in a town going slow and stopping the brakes pulled violently to the right, a few more traffic lights then violently to the left. …”
NHTSA complaint #10807604, filed 2015-11, 11,000 miles“Drivers side front brake line is passing thru the coil spring. While performing the trucks first break job I observed this. The passanger side is OK. Truck has not been any accedent. Dealer said no big deal, it hasn't failed yet. I am the original owner. Truck is not used for plowing or business. To me it looks like it was built with the wrong bracket or to short a line but I know the line should not go thru the spring. The potential for abrasion on the line is high. I have pictures of both sides of break lines.”

The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the wires associated with the brake system. While braking, the brake pedal was difficult to apply and the contact had to use excessive force. The repair shop diagnosed that the wires ran through the middle of the axle, and the coating was worn and caused a short with the wires, which caused the brake failure. The mechanic rewired the wires to the back side of the axle, clamped the wires on the outside, and repaired the travel trailer. …”
