Auto park brake fails to hold vehicle on incline. With transmission in park the brake is supposed to engage. It does engage, but fails to hold on hills. This has happened every time we try to park on a slope. I use a set of wheel chocks to help keep the motorhome from rolling.
Consumer came to a stop, took his foot off the brake and put gear into park when he noticed the motor home started to move forward, dealer found that there is no parking gear, the park gear only activates the parking brake. *slc
