| Workhorse w-24 park brake one time use for emergency then fails without warning who was the idiot that approved such a system most of the general motors coaches are without any emergency or park brakes ,you can not repair crap that will not wok as designed with a failure rate of 100% within three years.i think you have taken or just do not have the balls to apply the laws that you sponsored thru congress.repair parts are not readilable available only new part from workhorse. 1 the failure one time use item,it does not say that in any written material from workhorse2my battery power cable to my coach failed,the power loss opened all contacts so no power to brake lights,emergency flashers everthing dead ...i had to use the toad flashers to hold traffic at bay till a tow truck arrived.my parking brake worked on level ground but when i parked on a hill it was a scamble to apply the brake with engine off.from a motorhome to rolling crap in 2 seconds with no warning 3 the fix is to purchase the new---new park brake assembley from workhorse,not in the near future, this system is also in bus frames that carry our children to school.you guys blew this one, confess up, and fix it | |||
