ABOVE ENTRY DOOR 2 SWITCHES THAT CONTROL THE MOTOR COACH BATTERY AND ENGINE BATTERY COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO WAY THE SWITCH TO THE BATTERY THAT OPERATED THE ENGINE COULD TURN OFF, BUT IT DID. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THERE WERE NO POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. CONSUMER HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND GO BACK TO ENTRY DOOR TO RESET SWITCH. CONSUMER ALMOST HIT A CAR IN THIS PROCESS. CONSUMER FELT THAT SWITCH SHOULD BE RECONSTRUCTED. *AK *ML
