Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The auto park brake failed to hold the motor home while parked. The dealer investigated and found out that the brake shoes were worn out and the brake cable was burned and broken, the cable was improperly located as it was touching the exhaust system.
Auto/park would not release. 2nd time this happen one @ 17000 mil2s, one @ 33000 miles.
I received from the chevrolet motor division a letter stating that they had received reports of crashes that may be related to the maintenance of the auto-apply parking brake. The auto-park brake has a tendency to apply itself as the vehicle is crusing down the highway. This has occured on my motor home and also on two other rv owner's of chevrolet chassis that I have spoken with. I am sure there are other owners who had similar problems with this auto- parking brake. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. They should offer a recall on this problem as soon as possible before someone is seriously injured or killed in an accident.
