Example complaints

Brakes: “While driving my rv I completely lost all braking power, when I pushed on the brake pedal it went to the floor. Thankfully I was on a flat road and knew how to downshift to slow down until I could stop at a safe place. When I checked the brake fluid the container was completely empty, and I never received a low brake fluid indicator light. This is the 2nd time a brake line has corroded from the outside in - the other line failed in december 2015. This incident happened late september 2018. I just can't believe this is not a serious safety issue and hasn't been recalled/addressed. …”
