Schwintek Slide slides out while driving

We own a 2014 Winnebago Vista 27N. All slides use the Schwintek In Wall Slide System. Our longest slide slides out while driving down the road. The electric brakes in the motors are not engaging. Has anyone had this problem? And if so, what was the root cause and the fix? The controller has been replaced and the 2 motors have been replaced per recommendations from Winnebago and Schwintek (who is owned by LCI). It still creeps out about 1" to 2" while driving. Need some help. Other than the "creeping out while driving", the slide works fine.

You need to do a system reset should fix the problem

Before all the fancy motor gear locks the RV's used a SLIDE LOCK BAR between the inside of the slide and the inside wall close to the ceiling inside the trailer.

Looked something like this:

You might be able to rig up a couple of 2X4's laying on top of the slide that is inside the trailer when pulled-in to do the same thing while trying to figure out the problem with the motor gear lock...

Just a thought...
