    I RECEIVED FROM THE CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION A LETTER STATING THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED REPORTS OF CRASHES THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE AUTO-APPLY PARKING BRAKE. THE AUTO-PARK BRAKE HAS A TENDENCY TO APPLY ITSELF AS THE VEHICLE IS CRUSING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURED ON MY MOTOR HOME AND ALSO ON TWO OTHER RV OWNER'S OF CHEVROLET CHASSIS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH. I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS AUTO- PARKING BRAKE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY SHOULD OFFER A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
