NHTSA complaint #10644964, filed 2014-10, 50,500 milesElectrical system: “While driving on interstate the mmdc (multiple module data computer) went hey-wire. All gauges turned off. No speedometer, fuel gauge, temp, oil etc... Also the rv jake break (engine break) failed to engage. Search of the internet indicates that this has been an on-going issue with freightliner's mmdc thus putting many large trucks on the roads, and the people around them, in danger. The unit is made by medallion instrumentation systems. Please look into the number of mmdc failures (after market sales) to see if it warrants a recall. …”
