What owners report
TURBO RESONATOR PREVENTED ME FROM DRIVING OVER 45 MPH WHILE I WAS ON A 70 MPH FREEWAY! HAD TO HAVE RV TOWED! I WAS TERRIFIED. ADDITIONALLY, I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE TURBO RESONATOR PART 5137154AC WAS THE SAME ONE USED TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT FAILED. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PART IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, WHICH CRACKS AT HIGH HEAT AND CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PREVENTS IT FROM GOING UPHILL. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS TWO DAYS AGO ON SEPT. 28 WITH ONLY 28,160 MILES ON MY RV WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN MY RV WITH MY FAMILY ON A DARK DESERTED HIGHWAY 4 HOURS FROM MY HOME, AND IT JUST WOULDN'T GO OVER 45-50 MPH WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS TERRIFIED AGAIN
