Example complaints

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

“Cascadia 2012 constantly in and out of shop every single week since I have had this truck. Not even 5 months yet and its been in the shop and dealer every week or other week with the same problem every single time. Regen DPF is not completing and everytime I go to dealer they change one box again still problem. Dealer charges everytime which doesn't make sense because this is manufactures problem and I always have to pay for it.”
