Latest Sightseer complaints
We were driving the Rv home immediately after purchase. I was in the vehicle with my two children. I was traveling down a flat road at roughly 40 mph when the brakes began to drag. I thought possibly it was simply because the rv was so large and I had never driven one that big before. Until the brakes would no longer work at all. I tried pumping them a few times and the pedal just hit the floor. Thank goodness I was safely able to put into neutral while using the e brake to coast off the road. I'm beyond grateful...

my family wasn't harmed. I had to have the vehicle towed to my home and now I seriously worry about the safety of it. I have read in numerous forums upon searching that there have been many recalls on the brakes in workhorse chassis from 2001- 2007 I believe. I've called everyone I could think to call, checking for a recall as exactly per the recall states my vehicle malfunctioned. The dealer is not willing to help me. These brakes failed completely. Please advise
When driving the ABS warning alerted us. We stopped and inspected, but came up with nothing. After returning to drive mode the RV started making a loud hissing sound. We stopped and had it towed to a mechanic shop. The Park Assist brake burnt up and needed to be replaced. After paying several thousands for the part and the labor we received the RV back and proceeded to our next trip. After about 1hr into our drive, when attempting to stop at a red light the brake peddle was hard to push down barley being able to...

stop. But the peddle did not return. It had to manually be returned. We pulled off right away into a parking lot and the same issue occurred again. After googling this, it said maybe the brakes over heating. So we sat for over an hour. Nothing changed. We checked for a brake leak-there was now. We filled up the brake reserve-still no luck. So we once again had to have it towed. After the mechanic checked it out. He said the brake booster was bad. Another few thousands. I am worried about the braking system. Someone told me that the Chassis had a recall on the brakes. Could anyone please provide any information if you know of this. Thank you, for your time and for reporting this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 winnebago sightseer. Shortly after purchasing the recreational vehicle, the brake pedal was very soft and had to be depressed to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs melted on the backing plate of the front wheels. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,500. Updated 09/06/16*lj
We had complete brake failure and the brake peddle went right to the floor. We have a workhorse p32 and I had to apply the e brake to stop the rv. We had it towed to a ford truck shop and found out the brake calipers and all other components were either burnt or cracked. This sure doesn't seem right to me since there was a recall on the workhorse w series and not the p series!
During a stop for a traffic light I depressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. The vehicle was traveling about 30 mph and when the light changed to amber, I depressed the brake slightly harder than usual. When this happened two of the lines from the abs controller to the wheels leaked and brake fluid was sprayed on the exhaust system creating much smoke. Since there was no cross traffic a collision was avoided. The vehicle was towed for repairs and all of the hoses from the abs controller show significant signs of rust. This vehicle was purchased new and used in florida. It has been in michigan for only two years and has had minimal exposure to winter weather and salt.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 winnebago sightseer. While driving at 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes seized causing the vehicle to stop prematurely. The contact mentioned that the brake pedal had to be lifted with the foot in order for it to return to normal working position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,700.
