DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ALL OF THE TIME. SHE CALLED AND WROTE TO THE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD HER IT WAS AN AFTER MARKET TRAILER HITCH THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS WEEK, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN. THEY HAVE NOW FOUND A RELAY PART, WCCW8002024, THAT WAS A 70 AMP RELAY. THEY WERE PUTTING A 20-35 AMP RELAY AND IT WAS NOT TAKEN THE LOAD THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED. THE BRAKES HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND IT WAS HAPPENING TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THEY WERE PUTTING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WERE NOT RECALLING IT. WINNEBAGO WPG32V, THAT MODEL NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THERE WAS ONLY 12,591 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. *AK *SC
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.
