2003 GEORGIE BOY LANDAU Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GEORGIE BOY LANDAU RV. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DOWN SHIFT; AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND RECOMMENDED A TEMPORARY FIX AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,000.

WEBB'S RV CENTER WAS PREPARING FOR SALE TO NEW FIRST OWNER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NEVER INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. WEBB'S RV INCURRED A $306.00 REPAIR FEE TO FIX BRAKES. THIS UNIT SHIPPED TO US FROM GEORGIE BOY ON 12/22/2003 FROM MICHIGAN WITHOUT ITS BRAKE. WE CONTACTED WORKHORSE WHO MANUFACTURED THE CHASSIS AND GEORGIE BOY WHO BUILT THE RV ON THE FRAME AND INFORMED THEM OF THE OVERSIGHT. NEITHER ONE OF THEM ACCEPTED RESPONSABILITY FOR THE E-BRAKE OVERSIGHT. WEBB'S RV HAS COMPLETED THE REPAIRS BY SUBCONTRACTING OUT THE REPAIR TO AN AUTHORIZED WORKHORSE DEALERSHIP. SPECIFICALLY VARNEY GMC IN BANGOR MAINE. *TR
