I had a 2003 with the AutoPark, in the first 2-1/2 years it failed 5 times. After much wrestling with Workhorse, they finally sent a technician to my local Workhorse Authorized dealer and replaced all of the electrics and most of the hydraulics of the AutoPark system with components that the tech said were of a new and improved design. All of the new electrics were completely sealed against moisture, and the hydraulic pump sounded a lot more business-like versus the original. After everything was replaced, it worked without a hitch for the next 4-1/2 years that I owned it
All of the repairs and towing during this time period were covered by Workhorse under warranty, but after the warranty expired I was always concerned if and when it would happen again.
