| Wife, donna was driving. two consecutive lit stopsignals/ brakes failed when she stood on the brake. first signal not too serious, but second signal motorhome was totaled out. all brakes seemed to test out ok except at the two consecutive signals. this is a braking problem and most likely a combination with abs. we know this is somewhat common because others have told of their experiences, except not so serious. we expect you to have some additional information on this type of vehicle braking problem. thank you alan and donna | |||
