Example complaints

Forward collision avoidance: “FYI, this is the second 2022 Cascadia I’ve driven with this issue. The forward radar sensor detects a target 3 feet in front of me and slams on the brakes if the cruise control is set. I can over ride it by turning off the CC, but then I get constant alarms for following too closely and collision alerts. The issue has generated 4 critical events to my company. This happens randomly, with no warning whether I am in traffic or not. I believe this to be a significant safety issue at worst, and a very unpleasant driving environment at best. …”

NHTSA complaint #11445705, filed 2021-12

Brakes: “There was brake failure during an accident or 4/23/21 on the Massachusetts turnpike where there was a fatality. The air dryer filter broke off and my question is regarding nhtsa part 573 safety recall report 22v-443. I would like to know the two simultaneous events in this recall test. I realize the production date is a month or less after the recall date of vehicles.”

Other or unknown: “The system isn't working properly. The AEB(automatic emergency braking) has been braking when I was driving on ice for no reason almost making cars get skids. It's essential to not brake hard on a slippery road. But that system put me in dangerous conditions. Not only one time but several. I was afraid to drive with them on. Also, I tried to see how the truck goes without it, I unplugged it and the truck was braking properly and never had skidded on slippery roads. And funny thing my acceleration was better, and fuel consumption mile/gallons increased from 5.6 to 6.7. …”

NHTSA complaint #11451612, filed 2022-02

Electrical system: “ABS system is shutting causing all safety systems to shut down including cruise control. Freightliner is overlaying the harness for abs sensors at the owners expense. There should be a recall for them to fix this issue. They are very aware of what's going on and are doing nothing to fix the issue.”
