    - GREAT FALLS, MT

    WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94 APPROXIMATELY 23 AUGUST 2011, AND SURROUNDED BY SEMI TRUCK TRAFFIC I EXPERIENCED A RAPID DECELERATION OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE TRAFFIC WAS SO TIGHT, AND DUE TO THE RAPID DECELERATION RATE, I BARELY ESCAPED BEING HIT FROM THE REAR BY AN APPROACHING FULLY LOADED 53 FOOT SEMI TRAILER. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE EGR VALVE THAT FAILED DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER, MERCEDES BENZ, STATED THAT THE WINNEBAGO COMPANY USING THEIR SPRINTER CHASIS AND ENGINE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DESIGN DEFICIENCY THAT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER UNDER THE HOOD AND DAMAGE THE EGR VALVE IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO CAUSE THE RAPID DECELERATION. *TR
