NHTSA Complaint #11635858 — 2001 FOREST RIVER GEORGETOWN

On [XXX] while driving down [XXX] in Jacksonville Fl my living room/dinning room slide fully extended. No prior warning was given. after getting to the side of the road we called a mobile rv tech. He checked everything and found a code for the parking brake not set. Going down the road it would not be set. We found a way to over ride the slide and get it back in. We left the power to both slides unplugged so it could not happen again. After arriving at our destination we plugged the slides back in and they worked fine. After a couple of hours the slide that gave the problem retracted all by itself. Lucky there was no one inside and nothing was in the way so no damage was done. At 5:00 AM the slide fully extended again while we were in bed. I got up and unplugged it again. I have contacted Forest River, Lippert, and Percision Circuits to try to get help and answers to this problem. No one has been able to help as of yet 1-14-2025. We have had to mobile techs look at the problem at a total cost of $685.00 out of pocket and still haven't figured anything out. We could have had a very serious accident causing harm or death to us or other travelers when that slide came out. My dogs could have been injured or killed had they been inside when that slide came in by itself. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
