Consumer Description

AGAIN ON 18 NOV 08, ON A TRIP TO KEY WEST, FL I HAD THERMAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS TIME THE LEFT REAR CALIPER PISTON FAILED TO RETRACT FULLY AND CAUSED THE PAD TO DRAG ON THE ROTOR AND THIS RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY HOT SITUATION, WITH SMOKE SMELL AND THEN AN ILLUMINATED ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THIS IS THE 8TH FAILURE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS MOTORHOME. MONACO REPRESENTATIVE CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THERE IS NO BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THEIR UNITS AND PLAINLY STATED ON OUR LAST PHONE CONVERSATION, THAT THEY DON'T PLAN TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY OR ANY ONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS MATER. IT IS A BOSCH PROBLEM, BUT THE SYSTEM IS INSTALLED ON A MONACO MOTORHOME. *TR
