Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving 50 mph the engine stopped running and all electrical power ceased. brake lights and hazard warning lights were rendered inoperative. we could not get entirely off the road so not having hazard warning lights was very dangerous for oncoming traffic as well as us. there was a strong smell of electrical wire burning but no further fire was found. neither the chassis or coach manufacture take responsibility for not having a fail safe system for brake lights and hazard warning lights not being opperational. *ak
