At about 16,000 miles the brake pedal began sticking down and had to be pulled back with my foot resulting in excessive brake pedal travel. After having two leaking pressure switches replaced, three master cylinders installed and the brakes completely rebuilt twice. The problem now at 134,000 miles was found to be the ABS module and valve keeping excessive pressure in the system and not allowing the pedal to return properly thus causing excessive heat buildup requiring replacement of rotors, calipers and pads on all four wheels twice.

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- On certain travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these ovens were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.
- Risk
- An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.
- Remedy
- Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800‑932‑3837 or four winds at 1‑219‑266‑1111.

What 2002 Four Winds Hurricane owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Microwave, samsung mr5493g, began operation by itself and started a fire. The microwave is damaged beyond repair. The coach filled with smoke. I have contacted samsung about the federal safety agency campaign number 03e044000. It took several calls to get them to agree to replace the unit. They offered $200. Trans 4119069438. The coach was smoke damaged. I am getting an estimate to remove the smoke damage. Samsung agreed to pay for the smoke damage, trans 5105693753. I was called, a voice mail left and sent an -email with instructions on how to obtain the $200. I was then called the next day as if they needed to get a hold of me urgently. Another voice mail was left. I was told I had 3 days to send in the paperwork sent in the e-mail or lose the opportunity to have the microwave recalled. The e-mail said I had 2 weeks. I need to wait for the smoke damage estimate, which should be at the 3 day mark. I feel samsung is trying to avoid paying for any damages or recall this microwave. I felt I needed to report the incident and samsung's poor handling of this recall. I would like to know what samsung's responsibility in this recall is. I have owned this vehicle for 3 years and I was never notified of the recall.
