New thread on brake problems with the W-22 and other W series chassis. An Issue this important, i.e. PUBLIC SAFETY needs to be open and addressed by the members of this form.

I believe the owner of this site can be PMed at andy R. Let him know how you feel. Its not about the brake issue but whether or not a issue can be discussed about workhorse products or cust service. Isnt that what this site is supposed to be about, GOOD OR BAD. Folks you might not have a brake problem but if they can do this on the brake issue your issue could be next.

Another brake-thread closed; how many is that now? Maybe it's to make room for that new neutral-bias brake-thread poll that DriVer said he was putting together, though one is a discussion and the other would be a poll.

Depending on what model year and chassis you have, just because you haven't had a problem doen't mean you can't have one... the 'complaints' of others that you read here could someday be your own...

I agree with you that this is an important topic. Hopefully the personal attacks and flaming that were too numerous on the previous thread will be reduced this time.

I think your last comment on the previous thread "man, has Workhorse trained you right" may have been the last straw.

The topic can be very beneficial and informative. I follow with personal interest, but

as Photog said, will no doubt show by the third page or so, as there seems to be some vendettas or egos that get into the conversion. The previous topics information was very helpful to me personally.

The brake thread is one of the main reasons I view this site on a regular basis. I do agree with Photog regarding the personal attacks and flaming thats been going on from both sides of the fence. I hope this thread can stay on topic, informational and most of all civil.

I hope there is something coming forth in the next couple of weeks. The big RV show in MPLS. opens Feb 5th. Although we love our Bounder we don't feel comfortable entering another RV season without a resolution to this problem. It would be awfully tempting to make a trade at the show and put this behind us.

I put the safety of my family and friends above everything else.

Safe travels to all.

i've read a lot of messages here over the last few months and a lot of them are from the guy driver, who does work the workhorse display at the rv shows. doesn't that mean he really does work for workhorse and i'm sure they train him on what to say. as an employee the boss trains him on product knowledge. read the info he wrote on new diesel products in his message about w22 brakes, which seemed like the wrong place but he runs the show here, so he's gonna win folks. don't see why close a message board wehn another one opens again... let it run to 200 pages or what ever. when i'm sick of it ill just read other messages. everyone here can read or not read the messages just what i think anyway

The brake thread has been beat to death and how much good has come from it? If I hated my job, and complained about it for over 100 pages on a forum did'nt make me feel better then it's my problem. If I hate it that much, I can't manipulate my boss but I can quit the job. You guys need to get more crerative in how you are trying to manipulate WH into fixing your brakes, or just quit and buy a different MH that will make you happy.
Repeating the same things over and over throughout 106 pages is obviously not making anyone happy.
I seriously dislike my autopark and the IP but I bought it, it's mine and it is what it is, and I enjoy it when I get to use it.
I gotta take the wife to dinner, have a good evening everyone.

Would like to request any members of this forum that attends a RV Show where Workhorse is present, to respectfully question them about the many brake problems we are having or will have. Then please post the response you receive, good or bad from Workhorse. Thanks in advance for your efforts.
