 Auto park system on my 1996 rexhall motorhome has applied itself when the system is hot after a number of hours of driving. it has happened to me when backing, but i have read and heard of numerous occasions when it has happened to motorhomes when moving forward at highway speed. *nm

 I put my 1996 class a motor home in auto-park at a dump site. i got out of the seat to dump my tanks and my wife warned me we were rolling. i was able to stop the vehicle before it hit any thing. the auto park light was on and when i put the vehicle in gear i could hear the auto park disengaging, but it was never on. vehicle rolls away when it should be in park and the dash states it is in park. i have to have my wife keep her foot on the brake while i put blocks in front and behind the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away. *la

 I have a 1997 rexhall motorhome on a 1996 p-30 chevrolet chassis. the auto park brake, at times, comes on when in reverse or drive stopping the vehicle very abruptly. i am very concerned that this is going to happen at highway speeds and someone in the motorhome or following to close will be injured and/or killed!! i have tried to have this situation taken care of but the dealers i have spoken with don't seem to have the knowledge or information they needed to remedy the problem. i have seen this situation mentioned on rv forums and it appears there are many p-30 chassis with this same problem and cannot get it resolved. i pray that you get enough complaints on this problem to investigate it before things get serious which might result to injury or death. i am at the point that i hesitate to drive this vehicle in this condition. thanks for listening. *la
