NHTSA Complaint #10181166 — 2000 HOLIDAY RAMBLER AMBASSADOR

I REPORTED OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKES TO MONACO JUNE 2002- THEY HAD CUMMINGS AT OCALA, FL REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT AXLE. AGAIN IN JULY 2003 I HAD OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKES, SMOKE AND ABS FAILURE- MONACO HAD PLANT 9 REPLACE ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT AND REAR. IN 2004 MONACO HAD A RECALL INSPECTION- RESULT WAS THAT THE REPLACED CALIPERS WERE THE NEW APPROVED CALIPERS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKES; SOMETIMES IN FRONT AND SOMETIMES IN THE REAR, ( ABS SENSOR ALWAYS ARE BURNED UP). NOW AFTER ONLY 27,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS, THE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TWICE TO THE TECH AT MONACO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR ANSWER IS THAT THEY DID THE RECALL IN 2004; THEREFORE, THE PROBLEM OF OVERHEATED CALIPERS WAS RESOLVED. ABOUT EVERY 90 DAYS I HAVE TO REPLACE A BURNED OUT ABS SENSOR AT A COST OF $90 EACH TIME. I STILL HAVE OVERHEATING OF THE CALIPERS AND COMPONENTS. THE STYLE CALIPERS THEY INSTALLED DID NOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM. MONACO (TECH'S) NOW STATE THAT MY COACH IS A 2000 THAT HAS 60M MILES ON IT; THEREFORE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY STATE THAT IT NOW IS MY PROBLEM. *NM
