2006 Tiffin Allegro Bay Problems

I READ RECENTLY IN A TIFFIN MAGAZINE (VOLUME 13, #1) ABOUT A CARLISLE HYDRAULIC PARK BRAKE FAILURE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE YET, I AM ANTICIPATING SUCH FAILURE.

TRAVELING DOWN ROAD AND SMELLED BURNING. PARKED AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL NEXT DAY. BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASING. NEXT DAY AFTER COOLING, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE FACILITY, HOWEVER ADVISED BRAKES WERE FINE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER I WAS BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED MATTER. I HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES AND WAS NEAR THE DEALER WHEN THE SAME SMELL OCCURRED. DEALER FOUND THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER HAD FAILED. IT WAS CHANGED. APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, I HAD LEFT MY HOUSE AND TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES WHEN SAME SMELL APPEARED AND BRAKES DRAGGING. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER HAD FAILED AND MELTED THE ABS SENSOR WHICH HAVE SINCE BOTH BEEN CHANGED. CONCERNED ABOUT REAR BRAKES FAILING. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE REFRIGERATOR IN MY MOTORHOME , PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE REFRIGERATOR ... THE MANUFACTURER SENT SOMEONE TO THE R.V.TO PUT THE RECALL KIT ON IT AND A SHORT TIME LATER IT CAUGHT FIRE , DONE APPROXIMATELY $7000.00 OF DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.... I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT PROBLEM . *TR

MY PROBLEM DEALS WITH THE RECALL ON THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR THAT IS INSTALLED IN MY RV. MY REFRIG. FALLS IN THE GROUP OF AFFECTED UNITS. THE RECALL ADDRESSES REPLACING A SHIELD OVER THE GAS (FLAME) TO PROTECT AGAINST FIRE IF THE TUBE, ON THE REFRIG. CRACKS, AND LEAKS ONTO THE FLAME THEREFORE CAUSING A FIRE. I UNDERSTAND THIS, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM THE TUBE BREAKING IS THE PROBLEM AND THAT CAUSES THE FLUID TO LEAK DOWN ONTO THE GAS/FLAME. THE COMPANY TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE NOT REPAIRING THE DEFECTIVE/ CRACKED TUBES. THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY ABSURD TO ME. THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM ONLY THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE AFTER THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BRAKES CAUSING THE LEAK. *TR

2006 ALLEGRO BAY MOTORHOME. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE AUTO PARK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN THE BRAKE ENGAGED WHICH CAUSED THE MOTORHOME TO IMMEDIATELY COME TO A STOP. THE RV WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS REMOVED. THE RV WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE ALL THE CONNECTIONS WERE CLEANED AND RECONNECTED AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS TURNED OFF. ON APRIL 13, 2012 THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE PARKING BRAKE UNIT WAS REPLACED. ONCE IT WAS REPLACED , IT WAS DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WAS THE CAUSE.
