NHTSA Complaint #10246757 — 2000 HOLIDAY RAMBLER AMBASSADOR

THERMAL BRAKE FAILURE ON FLORIDA STATE ROAD 33 JUST NORTH OF GROVELAND, FL. ON 8 OCT 08. RIGHT REAR CALIPER OVERHEATED AND CAUSED BURNED BRAKE SMELL AND RESULTANT FAILURE OF THE ABS SENSOR. PISTONS FAILED TO FULLY RETRACT WHICH CAUSED THE PADS TO DRAG ON THE ROTOR AND CAUSE HEAT BUILD UP. THIS IS THE 8TH FAILURE SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS MORTORHOME NEW APRIL 2000. RECALL IN 2004 ONLY INVOLVED AN INSPECTION FOR MY MOTORHOME AND THEY DETERMINED THAT MY INSTALLED CALIPERS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY IN 2003 WERE PROPER. I STILL BELIEVE THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER CALIPERS DUE TO THE CONTINUED THERMAL BRAKE FAILURES. I SEND A COURTESY COPY OF EACH COMPLAINT I FILE TO MONACO. MONACE REPRESENTATIVE MR. MICHAEL BECKER CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THERE IS NO BRAKE PROBLEM ON HOLIDAY RAMBLER MOTORHOMES AND THAT THE RECALL CORRECTED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. THE BOSCH REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOT DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH ME. *TR
