I HAVE A 2006 DODGE SPRINTER CHASSIS WITH A WINNEBAGO MOTOR HOME COACH. THE BRAKES ARE SO SOFT THAT THEY GO TO THE FLOOR AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL. I AM SURE THAT SOMEDAY I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKES FAILING. *JB

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY DODGE SPRINTER 3500 MOTORHOME TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO TELL ME THAT A SOFT PEDAL IS ACCEPTABLE. WHEN BRAKING I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET A HARD PEDAL. I KNOW THAT SOME DAY I WILL GET INTO A PANIC STOP SITUATION AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *JB
WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2011 WINNEBAGO VIEW AND ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOMES BECAUSE THE DINETTE AREA SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES."
