Consumer Description

THERMAL BRAKE FAILURE ON US HWY 19 WEST OF BURNSVILLE, NC. ON 22 SEPT. 2008. THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER OVERHEATED AND CAUSED A BURNED BRAKE SMELL, STRONG PULL OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, AND A RESULTANT ABS SENSOR FAILURE. THE PISTON FAILED TO RETRACT CAUSING THE BRAKE PADS TO DRAG ON THE ROTOR RESULTING A HEAT BUILD UP, SMOKE BILLOWED FROM THE WHEEL WELL AND THE ROTOR GLOWED RED. THIS IS MY FIRST FAILURE. HOWEVER, SEVERAL FELLOW OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR BRAKE FAILURE. A 2004 RECALL REPLACED SOME BAKE PARTS. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING HAVING THE FOUR CALIPERS REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1250. AFTER ATTENDING SEMINARS, SPEAKING WITH OTHER OWNERS, AND SEVERAL TECHNICIANS, I BELIEVE MONACO CONTINUES TO HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH MOTOR HOMES THAT HAVE BOSCH BRAKE CALIPERS INSTALLED. *TR
