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
I TOOK MY MOTOR HOME OUT FOR A SHORT DRIVE BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT MONTH. EVERY THING WENT FINE FOR THE FIRST 5 OR 6 MILES. I THEN NOTICED AS I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL THAT IT APPEARED TO BE SLOWING DOWN EXTREMELY FAST ON SOME STOPS. IT DID NOT DO IT ON ALL STOPS. I WAS ALREADY ON MY WAY BACK TO STORAGE YARD WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT WAS GOING DOWN FARTHER THEN USUAL. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MILE FROM THE YARD. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AND SMELLED THE BRAKES WERE WARM. THERE WAS NO SMOKE. I HAD THE MOTOR HOME TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKES HAD STUCK ON AND PRETTY MUCH RUINED EVERYTHING. I ONLY TRAVELED MAYBE 8 OR 9 MILES. THE TOTAL COST OF A BRAKE JOB AND THE TOWING COST ME 8248 DOLLARS. I HAD ONLY OWNED THIS MOTORHOME SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR. *JS
