Example complaints

“On my 1996 Winnebago motor home (34 feet) (16,000 gvw) I lost the serpentine fan belt while traveling at 65 MPH on interstate 81 in virginia. This caused a loss of my power steering , and I lost my power brakes! It was a little difficult to steer the vehicle but it was virtually impossible to stop the vehicle. I am over 6 feet tall and weigh more than 200 pounds but no matter how hard I pushed on the brake pedal it still took over 500 feet to finally stop. There were no injuries, no damages.”
