Example complaints

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

“Have had several freightliners from columbias to cascadias, they all have had one thing in common. They all leak water under rainy conditions. The windshield, the driver's door as well as the door on the side of the ad sleeper. Doesn't matter if in motion or setting still it leaks water. Sad part is I have a 2020. This truck was also purchased with an advance warning system that will self appy the brakes to slow the truck down. I have had several instance of going over a bridge where the truck will momentarily brake for no apparent reason. Nothing in front of me or to the side. …”
