| Description of the problem | At highway speed, dash lit up with warning lights, dash sounded alarms, mobile eye flashed err.. And dash display flashed abs comm error! 60 seconds latter the engine stopped (everything dead)... But motor coach still moving with no power steering! Luckily i was able to stop the coach in a busy exit lane. After 4 hours (police stayed with us the entire time)... Was able to reset ecm error code and start the engine. After contacting tiffin, they advised to disconnect mobile eye under dash. Spent 1 hour under dash (while in traffic) trying to find connection. Never found, believe it is not under dash, but up and behind a kick panel? Limped coach home... With the problem recurring 2 additional times. This a s major safety problem... Imagine the panic of at 70 mph this problem happening... And you only have 60 seconds to find a safe place to bring 50,000 pounds of coach to a safe stop before loosing all power! This problem has been reported multiple times by others as recorded in the tiffin network forum. This should be a tiffin recall action!*dt*jb |
