Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : FOUNDATION COMPONENTS : DISC : CALIPER

Consumer Complaint:
WHILE DRIVING ON DECEMBER 26,2007 WE FELT A DRAG ON THE UNIT AND WE WERE AWARE OF AN ODOR INDICATING SOMETHING WAS HOT. WE STOPPED AND CHECKED INTO A CAMPGROUND. AS WE BACKED INTO THE SITE AND PUT ON THE BRAKE IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES. ENGINE AREA WE OBSERVED FLUID WAS SPLATTERED UNDER THE HOOD. BRAKE FLUID HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE TOP OF THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER. WE WERE ABLE TO GET INTO A GARAGE ON SATURDAY 29TH. AND ADVISED THE THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CALIPERS AND THAT WE NEEDED NEW BRAKE CALIPERS AND PROBABLY SHOULD REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER. IT WAS SATURDAY AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT AVAILABLE SO ONLY THE CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. WE HAVE NO PICTURES BUT WE DO HAVE THE OLD CALIPERS. WE CONTACTED WORKHORSE BUT SENT A FORM LETTER TELLING US HOW TO USE THE BRAKES AND THAT THE COACH WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FURTHER REIMBURSEMENT. *TR
