NHTSA Complaint #10563591 — 2014 PALOMINO COLUMBUS

BRAKE SEALS ARE OVER GREASED OR BROKEN. WE'VE HAD OUR UNIT GO BACK TO THE MANUFACTURERS FACTORY FOR WORK & HAD THEM CHECK THE BRAKES & SEALS. THE UNIT CAME BACK WITH DIFFERENT WHEELS AND BRAKES BUT THE ISSUE OF LITERALLY HAVING LITTLE TO NO BRAKES WHEN PULLING WAS MOST DEFINITELY STILL THERE. LIPPERT MAKES THE BRAKE & PARTS AND WE TRIED CONTACTING THEM ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. WE WERE NOT HELPED MUCH AT ALL. WE VOICED OUR PROBLEM TO LIPPE VIA PHONE, EMAIL & THEIR FACEBOOK WALL. THE MANUFACTURER OF OUR UNIT SAYS IT'S LIPPERTS PROBLEM. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS US GOING DOWN A HILL IN OUR F350 PULLING OUR 42FT. UNIT WITH THESE DEFECTIVE BRAKES THAT ARE BEING PRE ASSEMBLED BY LIPPERT AND APPLIED BY FOREST RIVER'S COLUMBUS PALOMINO FACTORY STAFF, THERE IS NO TELLING HOW MANY LIVES CAN AND WILL BE TAKEN INCLUDING OURS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WE ARE ALSO MEMBERS OF A COLUMBUS RV GROUP AND WE ARE NOT ALONE IN OUR SCREAM FOR HELP AND FOR THESE BRAKES AND PARTS TO BE RECALLED!!! *TR
