I PUT MY 1996 CLASS A MOTOR HOME IN AUTO-PARK AT A DUMP SITE. I GOT OUT OF THE SEAT TO DUMP MY TANKS AND MY WIFE WARNED ME WE WERE ROLLING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT HIT ANY THING. THE AUTO PARK LIGHT WAS ON AND WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR I COULD HEAR THE AUTO PARK DISENGAGING, BUT IT WAS NEVER ON. VEHICLE ROLLS AWAY WHEN IT SHOULD BE IN PARK AND THE DASH STATES IT IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO HAVE MY WIFE KEEP HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE I PUT BLOCKS IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE WHEELS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY. *LA

I HAVE A 1997 REXHALL MOTORHOME ON A 1996 P-30 CHEVROLET CHASSIS. THE AUTO PARK BRAKE, AT TIMES, COMES ON WHEN IN REVERSE OR DRIVE STOPPING THE VEHICLE VERY ABRUPTLY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SOMEONE IN THE MOTORHOME OR FOLLOWING TO CLOSE WILL BE INJURED AND/OR KILLED!! I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THIS SITUATION TAKEN CARE OF BUT THE DEALERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR INFORMATION THEY NEEDED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN THIS SITUATION MENTIONED ON RV FORUMS AND IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY P-30 CHASSIS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CANNOT GET IT RESOLVED. I PRAY THAT YOU GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM TO INVESTIGATE I
