What owners report
The component is wheel speed sensors. Safety issues - uncontrolled speed, transmission, engine performance, vehicle unable to be operated safely - Had the problem in 2020 (twice) - 2 of 4 sensors replaced after towing....again, in 2020 the third failed - had the 4th replaced at my expense.

THE INITIAL FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT OVER 60MPH AND STARTING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN, THANKS *TR

2016 WINNEBAGO VIEW. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ALIGNMENT ISSUES, RADIO AND GPS SYSTEM NOT WORKING. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WAS FAIRLY COMMON TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE BECAUSE THE COACH COMPARTMENT WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE CHASSIS HAD ALREADY BEEN ALIGNED.
