BRAKES ON 2005 REXHALL REXAIR WITH 35,298 MILES HAD BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED CAUSING DAMAGE TO ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM. BRAKES PROVED TO HAVE EXTREMELY OVERHEATED CAUSING DAMAGE TO ROTORS, PADS AND SENSORS. ALSO ELECTRICAL CLUSTER ON STEERING WHEEL FOR READING GEARS AND MILEAGE INFORMATION ALSO FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. REXHALL REFERRED US TO WORKHORSE FOR REIMBRUSEMENT. WORKHORSE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT AND INDICATED THAT OUR UNIT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY THEM. THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES COULD HAVE CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO MY FAMILY. WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS BRAKE PROBLEM AND WORKHORSE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND REIMBURSE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THESE FAILURES. THE COST TO US WAS $5,284.91 BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HIGHER HAD DEATH OCCURED FROM THESE FAILURES. PLEASE HELLP US RECOUP THIS REPAIR AND ADVISE OTHER RV OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTS. *TR
