NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 02V278000 THIS RECALL DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE CONTINUE TO OVERHEAT AND WE BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION OF THE WEIGHT VS. STOPPING POWER OF THIS BRAKE SYSTEM BE MADE. I CONTINUE TO MAKE REPAIRS, AT MY EXPENSE, ON THIS VEHICLE. THE COST OF THE VEHICLE WAS $224,000.00. ALL OF THE MOTORHOME DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THE POOR BRAKE SYSTEMS. THEREFORE THE VALUE OF MY COACH IS SEVERELY AFFECTED. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER SOLD OUT TO MONOCO CORP. THE NEW MANAGEMENT WILL NOT WORK WITH US TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY TELL US (MR. ROBERT RISBURGER) "ITS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS. *TR
