1991 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY RV LOST BRAKES AND POWER STEERING BECAUSE OF A BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE. I TOOK IT TO THE RV IN FOR REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT PART. THEY TOLD ME, THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GET TO THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, WAS TO BY-PASS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. ONCE THEY DID THAT, THE PARK FEATURE NO LONGER WORKED. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET CORPORATION SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING IT. ...UPDATED 10/22/14 *BF
