DRIVING IN CALIF. ON FREEWAY 210 GOING APPROX. 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC A LITTLE HEAVY, SO THERE WAS SOME STOP AND GO OR SLOWLY DOWN. I WAS DOWN SHIFTING BUT STILL HAD TO USE MY BRAKES. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY ALARM ON DASH STARTED TO BEEP, SHOWING ME THAT I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAD ONLY TRAVELED APPROX. 75 MILES WITH ONLY THE LAST 20 MILES WITH HEAVIER TRAFFIC. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO AN OFF RAMP ASAP AND STILL HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET AND STOP. I LOOKED UNDER THE MOTORHOME AND SAW BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER. CALL FOR TOW TRUCK. THE RV REPAIR SHOP CHECKED OUT THE BRAKES AND FOUND THE FRONT AND REAR CALIPERS STICKING AND SHOWED HEAT DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, I ALSO SAW THE DAMAGE. THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE MASTER CYLINDER TO LEAK DUE TO THE HIGH HEAT OFF THE BRAKE FLUID. THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL CALIPERS, PADS, TURN ALL ROTORS AND REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY ALSO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. I KNOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH PREVIOUS YEARS WITH WORKHORSE'S CALIPERS. THIS COST ME $2622.62 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I'M VERY GOOD ON NOT RIDING MY BRAKES. *TR
