Consumer stated flat springs were replaced.”

Equipment: “In december 2017, I purchased a Grand Design Imagine travel trailer, model 2500rl. When I towed the trailer, I noticed the trailers brakes would not stop the trailer even when I adjusted the brake controller gain to maximum. Thinking the trailer brakes just needed adjustment, on may 21, 2018, I took the trailer to the selling dealer for service. The dealer informed me that the brakes did not need adjustment. The problem was that the brakes on the front axle of the double axle trailer were not connected to the power source that operates the brakes. …”
