PARKING BRAKE ON VEHICLE LOCKS UP WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND WILL NOT RELEASE. VEHICLE CANNOT BE MOVED. PARKING BRAKE ALSO TRIES TO ENGAGE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES SINCE 2011. EACH TIME THE PARKING BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR IS REPLACED AND ONE TIME THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED AS WELL. THERE IS ALSO A LEAK IN THE ACTUATOR. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS WITHOUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN AND AGAIN.
NHTSA complaint #10577772 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
VEHICLE COMPONENT DESIGN AND OPERATOR USAGE CONCERN: WHEN SHIFTING IN OR OUT OF LOW GEAR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION W/ COLUMN SHIFT), DURING BEGINNING/COMPLETING A STEEP DESCENT, SHIFT LEVER SOMETIMES HITS THE IGNITION KEYS AND TURNS "OFF" THE IGNITION. THIS OCCURS, OCCASIONALLY, WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN TILT POSITION IS IN ONE OF THE TWO LOWEST POSITIONS. DUE TO ENGINE BRAKING EFFECT, SIMPLY TURNING THE IGNITION BACK "ON" KEEPS THE ENGINE RUNNING. IF IGNITION IS NOT TURNED BACK TO "ON" POSITION, STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME DIFFICULT. THIS IS PRIMARILY A PROBLEM DUE TO THE NUMBER OF KEYS ON A TYPICAL MOTORHOME, WHICH I NOW PREVENT BY SEPARATING THE KEYS. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED TO TILT THE COLUMN POSITION UP WHEN DRIVING IN CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE FREQUENT SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF LOW.

OUR MECHANIC TOLD US, IF WE CONTINUED WE COULD HAVE HAD A FIRE. I AM ASKING THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND NOTIFY US OF THE STATUS OF OUR REQUEST.

I HAVE A 2004 WINNEBAGO THAT IS PART OF THE RECALL FOR HYDRAULIC BRAKES, RECALL 09V110000. THIS RECALL IS DUE TO "PISTON EXPANSION" IN THE CALIPER THAT CAUSE THE BRAKE PAD TO LOCK UP AND CREATE EXCESSIVE HEAT. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH WORKHORSE ON THIS MATTER AND I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE ON DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS AND I HAVE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR REPAIRS WHICH INVOLVED ABS SENSORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS - WHEN THE PISTON EXPANSION OCCURS AND/OR THERE IS EVIDENCE OF BRAKE FAILURE, IS THERE A HIGH PROBABLILTY OF IT OCCURING AGAIN SINCE THE EXPANSION DUE TO MOISTURE HAS ALREADY SWOLLEN THE COMPONENTS? IF SO SHOULDN'T WORKHORSE REPLACE THE CALIPER? I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF BRAKE LOSS, FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO DETECT IT IN TIME AND PULL OFF THE ROAD TO ALLOW THE FLUID TO COOL BEFORE LIMPING HOME. I MAINTAIN TO WORKHORSE THAT I CANNOT USE MY MOTORHOME UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. THEY SAY THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO USE THE UNIT UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR OPINION ON THIS. I HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH DRIVING A 25000 LB. VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD KNOWING THAT THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.

THIS CONCERNS SAFETY RECALL 50901-C ON WORKHORSE CUSTOM CHASSIS WITH BOSCH BRAKES. THIS IS THE SECOND RECALL FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE BOSCH BRAKES WHICH WAS NOT CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME. THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 40000 MILES. THIS TIME I EXPERIENCED BRAKE LOSS IN OCTOBER OF 2009 SO I CALLED THE WORKHORSE NUMBER TODAY TO GET AND IDEA OF WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD BE REPLACED (AGAIN) AND A YOUNG LADY PROCEEDED TO LECTURE ME ON WHAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO AND ALL THE DISCLAIMERS. WE ARE PREPARING TO TRAVEL IN APRIL 2010 FOR THE SUMMER. HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY GET A CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT AND PLACE ALL THE BURDEN ON THE CONSUMER?
NHTSA complaint #10303636 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASED A NEW WINNEBAGO BRAVE MOTORHOME IN 2003 WITH A WORKHORSE CHASSIS. IN OCTOBER OF 2006 I BEGAN FEELING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO THE MOTORHOME. I REMOVED THE FRONT WHEELS AND DISCOVERED HUGE CRACKS IN THE DISC BRAKE ROTORS. I REPLACED THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS AND THE DISC PADS ON 10-31-2006 (I HAVE RECEIPT). I ALSO DISCOVERED, WHILE REPLACING THE BRAKE PARTS, THAT THE CALIPERS WERE BINDING AT THE SLIDE PIN. I CLEANED THE PINS AND APPLIED SOME WHITE LITHIUM GREASE SO THE CALIPERS WOULD MOVE SMOOTHLY AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY 1 AND A HALF YEARS LATER I DISCOVERED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND BINDING OF THE REAR CALIPER. ON 03-10-2008, I REPLACED THE REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. I ALSO LUBRICATED THE REAR CALIPER PINS. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE APPROXIMATELY $600(I DID THE LABOR MYSELF). LAST WEEKEND (02-22-2009) I SAW THAT THE LEFT REAR CALIPER WAS LEAKING FROM THE PISTON BOOT. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND ASKED THEM FOR A PRICE OF A CALIPER REBUILD KIT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CALIPERS COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH NEW CALIPERS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD GELLED FROM THE EXTREME HEAT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT I WAS COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THE MOTORHOME. ALMOST EVERY PART WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I LOOKED UP MY PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WORKHORSE CHASSIS BETWEEN 2001-2005 I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CHASSIS, "WORKHORSE" AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY MOTORHOME DID NOT HAVE A VIN # THAT WAS PART OF THEIR RECALL. EVEN THOUGH IT FELL IN THE 2001-2003 YEAR. THE TECH MANAGER AT WORKHORSE, GREG DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR OF MY MOTORHOME AND DID NOT WANT TO DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER MOTORHOMES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
NHTSA complaint #10260267 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 WINNEBAGO ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS THROUGH AUSTIN TEXAS ON A HIGH TRAFFIC EVENING I HAD A BAD OVERHEATING PROBLEM IN THE FRONT BRAKES TO THE POINT THAT BOTH WHEELS WERE SMOKING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND WAITED HOURS FOR THE BRAKES TO RELEASE SO THAT I COULD PROCEED TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER READING THE BLOGS ON VARIOUS SITES I AM SURE THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHER WORKHORSE CHASSIS OWNERS ARE HAVING. I KNOW THAT I AM LOOKING AT A BIG REPAIR BILL THAT WILL NOT NECESSARILY SOLVE MY PROBLEM... PLEASE LETS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS SITUATION. I DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT ON REPAIRS YET. THANKS
NHTSA complaint #10253784 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED A 2 WEEK TRIP DRIVING APPROX 1800 MILES. WAS TAKING MY MOTORHOME TO A DEALER TO HAVE A ROCK GUARD INSTALLED WHEN IT STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND SHIFTING FUNNY. THIS WAS IN TOWN WITH EASY DRIVING. I QUICKLY NOTICED THE SMELL OF OVERHEATED BRAKES AND IMMEDIATELY, AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE, PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK. I CARRY AN INFRARED THERMOMETER AND TOOK THE TEMPS OF ALL 4 WHEEL'S DISC BRAKES. THE FRONT RIGHT (PASSENGER) BRAKE WAS READING OVER 400 DEGREES AND THE 3 OTHERS WERE READING IN APPROXIMATELY THE 125 DEGREE RANGE. I SAT FOR A WHILE AND LET IT COOL AND AS I WAS ONLY ABOUT 2 MILES OR SO FROM THE DEALER, I THEN PROCEEDED, AFTER DETERMINING THE BRAKE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE LOCKED ON THAT WHEEL ANY LONGER, TO THE DEALERS LOT. THEY DO NOT HANDLE BRAKE FAILURES AND SINCE IT WAS LATE ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON, I LEFT IT THERE OVER THE WEEKEND. THERE IS A VERY GOOD HEAVY TRUCK CENTER LESS THAN A HALF MILE FROM THE RV DEALER SO I TOOK IT TO THEM THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. AFTER INSPECTING, TESTING, ETC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER ON THAT WHEEL HAD LOCKED UP BUT AFTER COOLING HAD RELEASED. I HAD CAUGHT IT IN TIME TO AVOID CRACKING THE ROTOR AND CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE, FORTUNATELY. WE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE CALIPER AND ABS SENSOR ON THAT WHEEL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A LONG TRIP YET BUT AM VERY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT A RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL IT HAPPENED AFTER RETURNING FROM A TWO WEEK TRIP AND DIDN'T LEAVE MY FAMILY STRANDED SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME!!! IT APPEARS FROM MY READING AND RESEARCH THAT THE WORKHORSE W22 (2003 CHASSIS) HAS A RECORD OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP US WITH A RESOLUTION AND EASE OUR MINDS ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF AN OTHERWISE FINE PRODUCT. THE SHOP MIGHT HAVE THE OLD CALIPER BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I COULD CHECK IF IT WOULD HELP.
