| Description of the problem | 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 |
