NHTSA Complaint #11412752 — 2021 FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE

WHILE TAKING OUR FIRST TRIP TO THE COAST OF NC FROM RALEIGH, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASH SAYING TO CHECK TRAILER CONNECTIONS. WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED, AND THE CONNECTOR WAS SEATED, AND EVERYTHING SEEM TO BE WORKING. WHEN WE GOT TO THE CAMPGROUND, I HAPPENED TO BE LOOKING UNDER THE CAMPER, AND FOUND THE WIRES THAT FEED THE ELECTRIC BRAKES WERE CUT. THEY WERE PINCHED BETWEEN THE U-BOLTS ON THE AXLE AND THE FRAME. I HAD A MOBILE RV TECH REPAIR IT SO I COULD SAFELY DRIVE IT HOME. IF IT HAPPENED ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM. I FOUND FROM FORUMS AND ON FACEBOOK, WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THE PROBLEM, AND ONE PERSON FOUND HIS WIRES IN THE SAME PLACE TO HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME (HE SAID " MINE WAS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK ALSO) AND HE WAS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
