Workhorse Brakes

[gseefield]

Well, I guess I'll add my story to the many others concerning the brake issue. I took the Dolphin in to have a "reduced power" issue solved. I was driving it toward the repair center when I felt the brakes start to lock up on me. I was about 5 miles from the center and was having no problem stopping at the stop lites, because the coach was on applied brakes the whole time. I arrived at the repair center with the front brakes smoking. I did not have to tell the repairman what else was wrong. The coach has been there for one month as of today and I have been told that they are replacing the entire front brake system with the same parts that were orginally on the coach, at Workhorse expense. The repair center said that it would be ready by sometime next week and maybe that would get me to a point where this recall will take place and I can have all of the brakes replaced. I sure wish we could all get togeather and speed this process up. I for one do not like to drive a coach that you never know when it will happen to you again!

Gseefield,
Even though I do not have a WH Chassis I do have a close friend living in Oklahoma that we go fishing with every year and I live in CA. This is something that we look forward to evey year.

This year we had it planned as we usally do to meet, and they had to cancel because of the same brake problem that all of you WH chassis owners are dealing with. I feel for all of you and I know that WH makes a great chassis, but the way that you all have been treated by WH would definalty steer me to the competition. It must be a terrible feeling to not be able to drive your RV's with cofidence. Us non WH owners have been affected by this also by not being able to meet and camp with our friends because of this problem.

I hope that this gets corrected soon and not delayed anymore.

I also hope the resolution of this problem comes soon. My wife and I had made an offer on a WH unit and were within a week of taking ownership. I withdrew my offer even after DriVer assured me that there wasn't going to be a problem. We are picking up our Tradewinds in a couple weeks.
