THE AUTOMATIC PARK SYSTEM LOCKS UP, WHEN IT DOES IT SOMETIMES TAKES 5-30 MINUTES TO DISENGAGE. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO SIT IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT RELEASES. *NM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES LOCKING UP WHEN VEHICLE HAS COME TO A STOP. CONSUMER FEELS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE MAY LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. *TT

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DAMON INTRUDER RV. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL SMELL EMITTING FORM THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE BEGAN DRAGGING AND WAS HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED OFF OF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE COOLED OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, IT BEGAN OPERATING NORMALLY.

I HAD A SAFETY RECALL # 50401C DONE ON 05/09/2006 TO REPLACE ALL 4 CALIPERS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HANG UP AND CAUSE BRAKE OVERHEATING AND MAYBE A ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AND NO WORN OF CRACKED PARTS. I WAS ASKED TO RETURN AGAIN FOR RECALL # 51101C TO AGAIN REPLACE ALL 4 CALIPERS TO THE LATEST STYLE FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS TIME 3 OF THE 4 CALIPERS ON THE MOTORHOME WERE DEEMED NOT USABLE BECAUSE OF CRACKS BUT THE WORK HORSE CORP. WON'T PAY FOR NEW ROTORS. I THINK THIS DAMAGE IS THEIR PROBLEM AND NOT MINE. PLEASE ADVISE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DAMON INTRUDER. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE BADLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT ALL FOUR ROTORS WERE CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR THEM TO PROCEED WITH ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS VERIFIED, BUT APPEARS TO BE INACCURATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 20,206.

1. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, LUCKILY. 2. WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THE HOUSTON AREA IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY TURNED TO "MUSH" AND I COULD NOT STOP. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MOVED AGAIN JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO ROLL INTO THEM. BY LEAVING PLENTY OF EXTRA SPACE AND PUMPING THE BRAKES 3 OR 4 TIMES I WAS ABLE TO KEEP FROM ROLLING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. EVENTUALLY AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES RETURNED TO "NORMAL" AND I HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ALTHOUGH THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS O…
