2003 Tiffin Allegro Brakes Problems

“Brake lockup after hard stop being required. Brakes worked correctly and smoothly for over 100 miles, but I had a situation where had I tried and finish my left turn (two lane highway) I would have been hit in the side by a semi-truck that decided to pass. I had the left turn signal on and was driving slow in order to make my turn when I saw the semi, at which time I pulled over to the right and hit my brakes. I then drove approx. 2-3 miles to my destination and that is when the brakes heated up, as you could smell them.”

“In 2008 full loss of brake functioning in our 2003 Allegro motorhome with a workhorse chassis going up hill. We had motorhome towed to service center. Workhorse refused to take responsibility claiming it was my husband who held the brakes on to long. He is a professional cement truck driver and this is not the case. The brake pads show no wear they were just burned when the brake system failed. We paid to have all brake systems replaced, but now are afraid to drive the coach because after receiving the recall notice it may happen again and we are in fear of our families safety. …”

“Sudden loss of brakes on a downhill grade. Had to pull to shoulder and scrape along until slowed enough to stop with parking brake. Calipers froze causing boil over of fluids that burned brake hoses and sensors.”

“The contact owns a 2003 Tiffin Allegro 31da mobile home with a workhorse chassis w22. While driving approximately 60-65 MPH he engaged the brakes and he could smell smoke. He stated that when this happened he had to allow the brakes to cool off in order to continue driving. He received two recall notices and workhorse had not found a solution for the recall repair. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact stated that he was the second owner and the former owner stated that the brakes were previously repaired. …”

“The contact owns a 2003 Tiffin Allegro rv. While driving approximately 40 MPH on normal road conditions, the vehicle failed to slow down when the brake pedal was depressed. Suddenly, after pumping the brakes several times, the vehicle came to a complete stop. The ABS warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that there was brake failure. The technician replaced the brake system; however, the failure recurred. …”
