NHTSA Complaint #765370 — 1986 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN

JUST A FEW DAYS AGO MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO A FISHING OVERNIGHTER TO ENSURE OUR RV WAS CAMP READY. WE STOPPED IN BUENA VISTA FOR GAS AND I ONCE AGAIN CHECKED THE TIRES AND OIL. SOON AFTER WE WERE ON OUR WAY ON A DESOLATE STRETCH OF I-24 IN COLORADO, I WAS GOING 65 (ON A 75 MPH) HIGHWAY, IN OUR 86 JAMBOREE RV, WHEN WE SUDDENLY HEARD A TREMENDOUS BANGING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WE CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT IN THE OPPOSITE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE REAR END FROZE UP. MY TWO KIDS WERE IN THE BED ABOVE THE CAB AND MY DAUGHTER STRUCK THE FRONT WINDOW AND CRACKED IT WHEN WE TO A SCREECHING HALT. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO A FRONT TIRE I AM SURE WE WOULDNT BE HERE TODAY.
