VEHICLE: 2001 FLEETWOOD STORM MODEL 30H MOTORHOME CHASSIS: 2000 WORKHORSE P32 INCIDENT:BRAKES OVERHEATED FOR NO REASON AND I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING FROM YOSEMITE VALLEY TO FRESNO CA., ON A COLD MORNING, WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND, I STARTED TO SMELL WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE OVERHEATING BRAKES. SINCE WE WERE GOING MOSTLY DOWNHILL, I WAS ALREADY DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY IN SECOND GEAR. I THEN SHIFTED DOWN INTO FIRST GEAR AND WAS GOING SO SLOW THAT THE BRAKES WERE HARDLY NEEDED AT ALL. THAT SEEMED TO MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL, AND THE BRAKES SOON LOST ALL STOPPING POWER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND COULD NOT BE PUMPED UP
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH THE PARK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED. WE AVERTED AN ACCIDENT, BUT CAME TO A GRINDING HALT AT A VERY DANGEROUS SPOT. THIS SYSTEM CLAMPS ONTO THE DRIVESHAFT AND ACTS AS A PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARK IS SELECTED ON THE SHIFT INDICATOR. A PUMP HOLDS THE BRAKE OFF OF THE DRIVESHAFT BUT IF THE PUMP FAILS, A SWITCH OR RELAY FAILS, OR INSUFFICIENT FLUID IT ENGAGES THE BRAKE. SYSTEM HAD TO BE DEFEATED TO DRIVE AFTER BEING TOWED WITH DRIVESHAFT REMOVED. THIS IS A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.EHICLE IS A 2001 FLEETWOOD STORM 30H ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS WITH 9300 MILES.*AK
