Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Truck was sitting unattended and wiring harness shorted out and burned all the wiring under the hood. After asking around this is a common problem with the wiring harness and I can't believe there isn't a recall for this problem. If a driver is asleep in the sleeper and this were to happen there could be a loss of life or critical/severe injury.”
