THE AUTOMATIC PARK SYSTEM ON OUR PACE ARROW (P30 CHASSIS GMTRS) FAILED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD KEEP IT FROM ROLLING OFF WAS TO BLOCK THE WHEELS.*AK
THE CAMPER'S AUTO PARK SYSTEM ENGAGED BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. THE CONSUMER STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING ODD, THEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND LOCK-UP. THIS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PULL INTO A CAMP GROUND. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THE P30 FORD CHAISE. *LA *NM

THE VIN WAS CONFIRMED WITH THE CONTACT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 40,473 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE.
CHEVROLET P30 'AUTO PARK'. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THAT IT WOULD 'AUTO PARK' WHEN I PUT THE TRANS IN REVERSE AND I COULD NOT BACK UP. THE NEXT DAY(OR WEHN I LEFT THE RV PARK) IT WOULD WORK FINE. LIKEWISE, WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT FOR SERVICE IT WOULD WORK FINE. I GOT ON THE INTERNET ON SOME RV BOARDS AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS-ONE WAS LOCKED DOWN TOTALLY IN THE YARD, ANOTHER WOULD NOT HOLD, BUT THE WORSE WAS A LOCKDOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD! I COULD HANDLE THE MINOR ONES BUT NOW I…

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
