Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When our vehicle is operating at highway speeds the vehicle loses all power as if you had turned off the ignition switch and then turned it back on. This lasts for a few seconds where total control to the vehicle is lost before it resumes normal working conditions. We have spoken to the local Freightliner dealer who has advised us that this is a common issue with these units, however, they are unaware of what causes this issue and are unable to fix it. …”
