Parking brake caliper mounting bolts loosen and fall out allowing the caliper to be partially dislodged from the rotor, when the service brake is released the caliper slips off the rotor and the vehicle is free to roll.there are many circumstances where this will result in a catastrophicaccident.in discussing this with the representatives from the chassis builder (magnum), the bracket that supports the brake caliper is underdesigned and results in the bolts loosening from service loading.when the company shipped the first replacement caliper, they did not include a new or redesigned bracket.the vehicle was recently at the factory where they did two weeks of warranty work, but did not replace or repair the parking brake assembly, even though it was explained to them in detail.it is obvious they are not concerned or adequately informed as to the potential dangers of the parking brake failure.the automatic transmission is not equiped with a park feature.

One small battery wire cold crimp came lose when i went over a railroad track at 45 mph and total brake system and engine failure occurred. No adequate emergency braking fail-safe type system exists on this vehicle under this condition and the vehicle weighs well over 26000 pounds. I had to coast to a stop and luckily the highway was clear.
