What 1996 Chevrolet Motor Home owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The bed in the motor home came down hard. It took four people to put it back up. Also, there were no warning labels or the permanently attached safety pins. Vehicle is a chevy trek motor home.
The consumer states he first experienced a problem with the automatic parking brake, then the parking brake failed to release in reverse, the auto park light did not go off/even though the brake was disengaged, the brake would not disengage again, and the auto park failed to release in an identical manner as above, when filling the gas tank. Diagnosed by the dealer; there was a failed pressure sensor and indicated that a transmission seal failure had allowed the transmission fluid to leak into the brake drum area. The consumer is asking for assistance to ensure that the vehicle is reliably repaired and to be reimbursed for any costs that they should not have incurred had gm been been forthcoming with specific information.

The "auto apply" brake system on these vehicles isa disaster waiting to happen. The brake is held off by hydraulic pressure and when pressure is lost the brake locks up. I have had the vehicle in for chevrolet service replaced the hydro pump motor,the pressure swith and the system has since locked up. Searching the 'net at different forums revels many incidents with this system. Cannot find anyone in chevrolet's tech support that really knows the system well enough to state a real fix for the problem. Imagine highway speeds of 65-70 and suddenly the brakes lock up without warning. The system should immediately be removed from these vehicles by cheverolet and replaced with a mechanical park brake.
The automatic parking brake activates continually while driving, several repair attempts however continues to activate. Mjs
