Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“It appears that the cruise control on my truck does not work when the headlights, wipers or flashers are on. There are no warnings, notices, stickers or documentation that came with the truck advising that this would occur. It's my understanding that this is a safety feature incorporated into all new Freightliner trucks but they neglect to tell you before or after getting one. 2 occurrences when I was taken by surprise that the cruise control stopped working when using the flashers and wipers. …”
