Service Brakes · reported Mar 10, 2025
While Driving the advance track message comes on and the dash light comes on the cruse control quits and the hill assist not available comes on. All resets when the Motor Home is engine is turned off for a few minutes. Next time driven all comes back on again.
Service Brakes · reported Oct 12, 2022
I have owned the Bay Star for a month, since 9/15/2022. In that time, the “Service Advance Track” warning has come on 4 times. When this happens, the traction control, cruise control, and hill assist features do not work. They advertised these as safety features and now they are gone. Also, the info display is filled with the message above and I can’t see my trip info. It’s very frustrating at best and unsafe at the worse.
