2003 MONACO COACH HOLIDAY RAMBLER Complaints

FROM THE TIME WE WENT TO PURCHASE THE RV, IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR FACILITIES, BECAUSE OF BRAKE FAILURE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE FIRST ONE BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER FOUR WEEKS, SO IT WAS TOWED ABOUT 75 MILES TO A SECOND REPAIR SHOP. ACCORDING TO THE REP FROM THE CHASSIS MANUFACTURER, IT WAS REPAIRED. EVERYTHING WENT WELL, UNTIL THREE YEARS LATER AND THE BRAKING ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS WAS 05/2015, 06/2015, AND 09/2015. EACH TIME, THE COMPANY REP TOLD US TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TWO OF THOSE THREE TIMES TO THE SERVICE CENTER TO GET IT REPAIRED. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICES, THE PARKING BRAKE LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. *JB...UPDATED 05/02/16 *BF .UPDATED 03/24/17*LJ *CN
