| Description of the problem | While traveling on business highway 17 in myrtle beach, sc (level road) ,within 20 minutes of leaving our campsite a definite smell of brake lining was preset in the motorhome. I immediately pulled off to the side of the road and investigated the smell that appeared to be coming from the rear axle. I put the vehicle in reverse; backing and breaking several times. I then put the vehicle in drive and accelerated forward and braking several times. Finally i put motorhome in drive without touching the accelerator to see if it would roll freely forward . I also verified the emergency brake was working properly. I did this several time. During all tests there was no apparent drag on the brakes. It appeared that the problem corrected itself. I continued my drive home without any brake problems. This is the first occurrence of this problem, but after reading several complaints on the nhtsa site i am very concerned. Reviewing you site, i had not peddle drop or abs light notification. At the time of the brake drag, all else appeared normal |
