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.

I HAVE A 2001 MOTOR HOME ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS AND HAVE A SEVER BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, ONLY THE FRONT BRAKES TRIES TO STOP THE COACH, THEN YOU SMELL THE PADS GETTING HOT AND THE PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP THEM TO STOP. I HAVE PUT BRAND NEW SHOES , CALIPERS, AND MASTER CYLINDER WITH NO HELP. IT HAS BEEN AT A WORKHORSE DEALERSHIP FOR ONE MONTH NOW AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING RV.NET, PLENTY OF PEOPLE OWNING WORKHORSE CHASSIS HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
