NHTSA Complaint #10661921 — 2007 TIFFIN ALLEGRO

I TOOK MY MOTOR HOME OUT FOR A SHORT DRIVE BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT MONTH. EVERY THING WENT FINE FOR THE FIRST 5 OR 6 MILES. I THEN NOTICED AS I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL THAT IT APPEARED TO BE SLOWING DOWN EXTREMELY FAST ON SOME STOPS. IT DID NOT DO IT ON ALL STOPS. I WAS ALREADY ON MY WAY BACK TO STORAGE YARD WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT WAS GOING DOWN FARTHER THEN USUAL. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MILE FROM THE YARD. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AND SMELLED THE BRAKES WERE WARM. THERE WAS NO SMOKE. I HAD THE MOTOR HOME TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKES HAD STUCK ON AND PRETTY MUCH RUINED EVERYTHING. I ONLY TRAVELED MAYBE 8 OR 9 MILES. THE TOTAL COST OF A BRAKE JOB AND THE TOWING COST ME 8248 DOLLARS. I HAD ONLY OWNED THIS MOTORHOME SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR. *JS
