Example complaints
Brakes: “I was taking my 2004 national dolphin rv to be serviced in ocala florida. It has very low mileage on vehicle (12,800) and while enroute, I felt the vehicle begin shaking from the chassis area, so I applied the brakes to slow down and pull over. I found that I did not have any breaks, even when I pumped the pedal. I was able to coast to a stop at the side of the road. When I got out to check on what the problem was, I could smell the odor of burnt brakes and the front hub was so hot I couldn't touch it. …”
