From owner reports, verbatim
IN 12-04 WE HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE BRAKE REPAIR DONE ON OUR MOTORHOME. THE BOSCH ABS BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED AT THIS TIME. WE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE FINE BY MONACO. IN JULY 2005 WE HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE BRAKES ONCE AGAIN OVERHEATED AND WE HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE BRAKE REPAIR DONE ONCE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE SAME WHEEL, DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL EACH TIME. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH PANEL COMING ON AND HAVE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED ALSO. WE ONLY HAD 5000 MILES ON THE COACH BETWEEN THE BRAKES FAILING. *NM
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
