| Description of the problem | We bought a new motorhome in 2/06 and it has just shut down in traffic on us in 5/06 (in a ford repair shop for a week) & 6/06. We lost ability to steer and to brake, so it's huge safety hazard. It's in a ford repair shop again, today is the 11th day, & they can't figure out what is wrong with it, so it probably won't be fixed right again!!!!*jb |
