| Service Brakes problems |
This is a forest river sunseeker motorhome on a 2021 Chevrolet Express chasis. On Friday, [xxx], after being in stop and go traffic for 10-15 minutes on [xxx] driving at 65 mph, a smell of burning brakes started filling up the motorhome. Then the vehicle started to wobble and the abs light came on. Pulled over to the side and while applying brakes the vehicle shook/wobbled. Drove to a ntb tire store and the manager indicated it was not the tires but smelled like the brakes burning and advised not to drive it. Had it towed to monument Chevrolet and they reported they could not replicate the problem. No repair. On [xxx] after numerous trips in RV, the exact same thing occurred. This time drove it to monument Chevrolet with dash lights abs, brakes, etc. And demanded a repair. They replaced left front speed sensor for $406. 00. On [xxx], coming off of a mountain, the exact problem happened again: wobble, abs light, and this time the stabilitrak sensor on. The dealer in arkansas ran a history report and said the right front speed sensor had failed. No repair available because of the size of the vehicle. Now scheduled to return to monument Chevrolet 01/09/2025 to hopefully be repaired. Chevrolet has recalled 638,000 of the vehicles with identical issues but mine not on recall list. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
