NHTSA Complaint #10610669 — 2001 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN

WHILE DRIVING MY RV TO CAMPING WORLD TO HAVE MY STABILIZING JACKS REPAIRED I NOTICE A DRAG. I STOPPED AND CHECKED BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THE TIME. I CONTINUED TO CAMPING WORLD AND AS I TURNED INTO THERE PARKING LOT I HAD ALL I COULD TO STOP MY RV BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING. WHEN I GOT OUT 3 OF MY WHEEL RIMS WERE HOT AND YOU COULD SMELL THEM. I TOLD THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THEY AGREED. IN FACT WHEN THEY DROVE IT AROUND TO THE SERVICE AREA THEY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT BEFORE HITTING A WALL. AFTER FIXING MY JACKS I HAD TO HAVE MY UNIT TOWED TO A PLACE TO FIX THE BRAKES, SINCE THIS CAMPING WORLD WAS NEW AND DID NOT HAVE THE FACILITY FOR BRAKES YET. AT THE NEW FACILITY AFTER INSPECTING SAID 3 OF THE 4 BRAKES, CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER BRAKE PROBLEMS. AND THAT I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT!!! I SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER RECALL I READ ABOUT, BUT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. *TR
