1995 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURER Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE GAUGES FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUSES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 95E016005 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

1995 34FT WINNEBAGO WITH A CHEVY / WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE AUTO BRAKE HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS LOCKED THE BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED LOCKED UP IN DRIVEWAY NOW THE SYSTEM IS DISCONNECTED AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE VERY LITTLE HELP ON A FIX. WITHOUT TAKING THE VEHICLE IN AND LETTING SOMEBODY REPLACE PARTS UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE RIGS AND NOT HAVING A PARKING PIN OR BRAKE SEEM LIKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I SEE WHERE PEOPLE JUST DISCONNECT THE AUTO PARK SYSTEM AND RELY ON THE EMRG. BRAKE. THIS IS GREAT UNTIL YOU GO TO SELL THE UNIT TO SOMEBODY AND FORGET TO MENTION THIS, WHICH HAPPENED TO ME. NOW I HAVE A 16000# MH WITH NO PARKING BRAKE. THIS SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE MANY FAULTS AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. *TR
