SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
RAM recall #C4B, affecting ABS and Electronic Braking. Recall in effect, but no parts available for fix. This recall has been in effect for a few years. This vehicle is a 20000 lb motorhome, and my family's safety is being compromised by RAM dragging their feet and delaying the supply of replacement parts. I've contacted two RAM dealers and RAM Customer Service to no avail.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE FOR COACH BATTERIES FELL ON TO THE DRIVE LINE AND STARTED A FIRE WHICH MELTED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND CAUSED FURTHER DAMAGE UNDER THE COACH. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT VERY QUICKLY AT THE SHOP WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO HOOK UP A TOW BAR ON THIS NEW RV. (THEY HAD FULLY PREPARED THE TOW VEHICLE AND THIS WAS TO BE THE FINAL STEP) IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE INCIDENT BEGAN TO OCCUR BUT THE FIRE MOST LIKELY STARTED AS THE RV WAS BEING DRIVEN FROM OUR HOME IN MEADOW VISTA CA TO ONE STOP TRUCK SHOP IN SACRAMENTO CA. THE FIRE STARTED A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE RV WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND MY SON HAD LEFT THE SCENE. A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROPANE AND DIESEL FUEL EXPLOSION WAS AVOIDED BY THE QUICK AND DECISIVE ACTIONS OF THE OWNERS OF ONE STOP TRUCK SHOP. THE FOLKS WHO SOLD US THE RV MENTIONED WE'D PROBABLY LEFT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING ... WHICH WAS UNTRUE AND COULD LEAD TO FURTHER DENIAL OF A MAJOR ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY TO THE OCCUPANTS AND ANYONE WITHIN THE DISTANCE OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PROPANE AND DIESEL FUEL EXPLOSION. TO THIS POINT, EVEN THOUGH CLEARLY A WARRANTY ISSUE, BOTH FOREST RIVER AND DIMARTINI RV THEY HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE COACH AT THEIR SHOP FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEY DEMANDED WE TURN OVER TO INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH THE COACH IS UNDER WARRANTY. EVENTUALLY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE COACH TO MERCEDES BENZ OF ROCKLIN CA WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY ISSUE.
