I put my 1996 class a motor home in auto-park at a dump site. I got out of the seat to dump my tanks and my wife warned me we were rolling. I was able to stop the vehicle before it hit any thing. the auto park light was on and when I put the vehicle in gear I could hear the auto park disengaging, but it was never on. vehicle rolls away when it should be in park and the dash states it IS in park. I have to have my wife keep her foot on the brake while I put blocks in front and behind the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away. *la

I have a 1997 rexhall motorhome on a 1996 P-30 chevrolet chassis. The auto park brake, at times, comes on when in reverse or drive stopping the vehicle very abruptly. I am very concerned that this IS going to happen at highway speeds and someone in the motorhome or following to close will be injured and/or killed!! I have tried to have this situation taken care of but the dealers I have spoken with don't seem to have the knowledge or information they needed to remedy the problem. I have seen this situation mentioned on rv forums and it appears there are many P-30 chassis with this same problem and cannot get it resolved. I pray that you get enough complaints on this problem to investigate it before things get serious which might result to injury or death. I am at the point that I hesitate to drive this vehicle in this condition. Thanks for listening. *la
