| Number of Cylinders: 0 | Date of Manufacturer: - |
| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problem is a potentially catastrophic one as a single failure of any component from the rear of the transmission to the rear wheels will, when parked, will allow the vehicle to move. the only parking brake provided is a drum brake at the transmission output shaft. when parked beside the road in steep terrain like rocky mtn nat'l park with no guard rail a single failure will likely result in loss of life as well as vehicle. the bolts on my front u-joint have already been found loose. this is unacceptable. all auromobiles and older motorhomes have both cable operated rear parking brakes as well as a transmission lock. any single failure in either system will still leave the vehicle securely parked. i am not willing to bet my life or my wife's life on not having a single failure. i am seeking modification/replacement of rear calipers to provide redundant parking brake, like most other vehicles.*ak |
