    GREASE SEALS FAILED AND GOT GREASE OVER ALL THE BRAKES AND BACK PLATES AND WHEELS

  2. Filed Jun 14, 2017Failure Jun 2, 20174,500 milesPlato, MOSuspension

    WHILE DOING A ROUTINE INSPECTION WHILE TRAVELING FOUND I HAD LEAKING WHEEL SEALS WHICH ARE KNOWN BY MANUFACTURER TO LEAK. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP DURING TRAVEL FEARING GREASE WOULD GET ON MY BRAKES AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. THE VERY NEXT DAY WHILE TRAVELING, UPON ARRIVING AT RV SITE REALIZED I HAD A BROKEN SPRING ON THE RIGHT REAR AXLE. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MOVED UNTIL REPAIRS WERE MADE. THESE TWO ITEMS ARE NOT ONLY UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS BUT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH. I FEEL THE SPRINGS AND AXLES ARE OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND UNDERSIZED FOR WEIGHT OF VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF BROKEN SPRING FOUND THAT THE SECOND LEAF HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOME TIME CAUSING THE TOP SPRING TO BREAK.
