This time still in shop since june 15 04, when talking to service rep at western rv in wash. State. He said bosch installed pins wrong [brake mfg]. I have no faith that this will not happen with possible catastrophic results, please interveen now, this should not be allowed to go on.
Service Brakes, Air · reported Oct 17, 2002
The entire brake system failed. We were on a 7% incline and proceeding at 20mph. There was construction in the area and we were in a long line of vehicles. The only thing that saved our lives or serious injury was the ability to manually downshift to almost stop the vehicle. There were zero brakes and upon getting to the side of the road the air assit did complete the stopping but the downshifting had us near zero MPH anyway. Dt
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · reported Sep 11, 2000
Brake fluid has turned into gel, resulting in extended stgopping distance. The control panel showed ABS failure many times, sometimes it clears and is considered a computer error. The brake fluid holder has gel in it. The consumer would like to know how the gel got into the fluid holder.
Fuel System, Gasoline · reported Jul 14, 2000
The fuel lines are not rated for diesel use, as a result of the wrong type of material/pipes fumes enter into the vehicle.
