there would have been a collision and loss of life. 2Nd incident occurred on 4/29/12 when going down a small hill. Trailer brake controller showed power to brakes, however, when fully engaged, there was no brakes from trailer causing both tow vehicle and trailer to go through a red light and into intersection. Local dealer has stated they have not seen a grease seal failure like this in all 4 drums at once causing complete loss of braking. Jayco is covering repair under warranty, however, where is reassurance this does not occur again?? *Tr
