  The brakes on my new Airstream Flying Cloud (23 ft) are unreliable, lock up, and/or engage without notice, endangering myself and others. Trailer was purchased on 16 Mar 2021. Took it on a 400 mile trip without incident. Before the second 400 mile trip on 8 Sep, I noticed the some running lights were filled with water. On the trip, inside the Allegheny Tunnel, PA Turnpike, the automatic lights came on and the brakes applied. When I turned off the lights, the brakes released. I took it to the dealer and they replaced some of the running lights and leaking wheel bearing, so I could get home. Upon arrival at home, he brakes locked up again in my driveway trying to park it. Not knowing if it was safe to move, I called CoachNet for roadside/driveway service to see if I could safely take it to the Air stream dealer safely again. They determined the wire harness was bad and needed replacement. My dealer contacted Airstream and they stated stated the harness was corroded, and may be causing the braking problems. My trailer is 6 months old at that time and was stored carefully. Airstream said the problem is caused by corrosion of the trailer components, including the wiring harness controlling the brakes. If so, this is a manufacturing problem which would affect similar Airstream trailers mfg’d during this time period. This is a critical safety issue. NOTE: Attached same file in 2 different formats. This states the wire harness and electrical issue is the source of the braking problem.
