| I have a workhorse chassis with a brake problem. sounds like action # peo732. i noticed during a trip to florida in april that the brakes smelled hot at the rear of motorhome during refueling. during my trip to salt lake city august 1st, 2007. my brake pedal would go to the floor and not come back up or release the brakes, i used my toes to bring pedal back up. in utah i had a diagnostic center look at the problem, they determined it to be a bad booster pump. they replaced the pump and pedal would come back up and release the brakes, but still had a soft pedal. when i got home (arlington texas) brakes were not releasing properly. i called workhorse and they told me where to take the motor home for service. motor home has been in the shop for over 30 days, they have replaced the power steering gear box, and the booster pump again. they told me the motor home was ready, nothing under warranty, i paid them $4,558.85. when i got in the motor home the brake pedal went to the floor, also would not start, which was probably the pedal not comming back up and leaving the brake lights on. technicians are bleeding the brakes and checking it out again. seems workhorse is no help in resolving the problem. i am now out the $4,558.85 at southweset international trucks here in arlington texas plus $1,089.25 for work on brakes in utah. and i still don't have a drivable motor home. *tr | |||

| Consumer received safety recall 50901-c for work horse chassis. consumer states that his motor home has many problems. *nj the consumer stated the brakes have been a major problem since purchasing the rv and they only worked normal about 70-80% of the time. the consumer stated he purchased all of the calipers at his expense, because no one wanted to take responsibility for the problem and now a recall has been issued. the power steering leaked at the weld of the rear housing, and the cruise control was repaired twice, but it never stayed fixed. *jb | |||
