NHTSA Complaint #10808671 — 2007 TIFFIN ALLEGRO

COMPLETE FAILURE OF A CARLILE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM. MOTOR HOME ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. MOTOR HOME HAD TO BE CONVERTED TO A MANUAL PARKING SYSTEM AND THE ALLISON TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE MODIFIED (RETROFITTED) BY THE INSTALLATION OF A PARKING PAWL. FREIGHTLINER CORP. WAS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, IMMEDIATELY SAYING THEY WOULD PAY FOR THEIR PARTS. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LABOR AND ALL COSTS TO ALLISON. FAMILY MOTOR COACH HAD A FORUM WHERE THIS VERY ISSUE WAS DISCUSSED. STILL NO RECALL. I AM A WIDOW, TRAVELING ALONE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD; WHAT IF THE COACH HAD ROLLED AND KILLED SOMEONE? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE FULL COST OF THIS REPAIR WHEN THIS IS BLATANT NEGLECT AND NO FAULT OF MINE. UPDATED 06/15/2017*JS
