What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
We took a long trip this last summer and had an incident on the rv. The vehicle was totally out of control at speeds over 40 mph when it was windy top speed was around 30mph vehice was totaly out of control and I considered it dangerous. I lost control twice and ran off the road.
This caused two blowouts and rim damage. Also, this caused the vehicle to strike a parked vehicle while making a turn. There was minor damage to the vehicle, but no police report taken. The vehicle was taken to the manufacturer of the frame and new slots were drilled and the axle was moved up.
The gm p30 automatic parking brake on my 1994 rv failed while I was driving down the road causing me to a full stop in the travel lane. The rv would not move. The emergency brake in the drive shaft just went on and will not shut off. I have read this is not uncommon to this type of unit.
