Example complaints
Brakes: “2001 Workhorse chassis with bosch 4 wheel disc brakes. Complete system replaced one time at owners expense. Since replacement, there have two incidents of total brake failure which could have caused a terrible crash had there not been a ditch to run into. The coach is a monaco. Monaco no longer exists and Workhorse and bosch go back and forth about who is at fault and no one will fix the problem. My family and I are in danger every time we choose to use the motorhome.”
