Complaint Summary

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER

Owner Narrative

THE UNIT IS "TOPPING OUT" AGAINST THE SHOCKS WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES OVER A SERIES OF BUMPS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE UNIT IS TOO LIGHT IN THE FRONT END. THERE IS A 14 FOOT OVERHANG FROM THE BUMPER TO THE CENTER-REAR AXEL. WHEEL BASE IS 228 INCHES AND THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE COACH IS 37'11". THE BRAKING SYSTEM SHAKES LIKE CRAZY AND DOESN'T SLOW THE UNIT DOWN. THIS FAILURE IS RANDOM AND THERE ARE NO CONSISTENT CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THIS FAILURE OCCURS. THE DEALER HAS INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES.
