THIS COMPLIANT IS THE SAME AS COMPLAINT # 50901-C. I REQUESTED THAT WORKHORSE REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES AND I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THEM STATING THAT MY COACH DID NOT FALL INTO THE PARAMETER OF THE CAMPAIGN. THIS COACH HAS THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS ON THE ONES MENTIONED IN THE FILE # 50901-C. THIS IS WHAT I REPORTED TO WORKHORSE ON 10/26/2009 "MY WIFE AND I WERE CHECKING OUT CAMPING AREAS IN DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, FL APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST PART OF APRIL 2008. DRIVING DOWN A SMALL INCLINE TO THE PARK I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES FELT SPONGY AND WOULD NOT STOP THE MOTORHOME NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES. I PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE AND FINALLY STOPPED BEFORE GOING INTO THE LAKE. I REVERSED UP THE HILL AND DROVE UNTIL I COULD PARK AND ON LEVEL GROUND. UPON CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUIDS I BURNT MY FINGER TOUCHING THE BRAKE FLUID FILLER CAP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE CAP AND MOST OF THE FLUID HAD BOILED OUT ALL OVER THE WHEEL WELL ON TO THE TIRE.
