NHTSA Complaint #11013769 — 2005 FLEETWOOD TERRA

BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS BECAME CORRODED AND WOULD ONLY PARTIALLY ALLOW BRAKE PAD RELEASE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM CONSTANT CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS. THIS RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE, MELTED ABS SENSOR AND WARPED ROTORS. REPAIR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS, BRAKE CALIPERS AND PADS. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 60000 MILES. REAR BRAKE CALIPERS STUCK THE SAME WAY (SECOND TRIP) AT APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE HEAT AND REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS, PADS AND ROTORS ON THE REAR. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY ON EITHER OCCASION. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE FIRST TIME DURING MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN, THE SECOND WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC.
