Example complaints

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

“The contact stated while driving various speeds on the highway, the air supply brake control release valve expelled the brake air and depleted the air brake supply without warning which resulted in poor brake function as well an increased stopping distance. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer, who determined the magnetventil valve needed to be replaced. After the initial replacement, the problem persisted. The manufacturer was alerted.”
