SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRUCK SLAMS ON ITS BRAKES RANDOMLY. LOCKS THEM UP WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS EVER SINCE I STARTED DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND HAVE PUT 25,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEARS WITH NO ACCIDENTS AND THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. I AM A PENSKE DRIVER BASED IN MT HOPE OHIO AND MANAGEMENT IS DOING NOTHING. WE HAVE 10 OF THESE TRUCKS AT OUR FACILITY WITH THIS BRAKING FEATURE AND WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO QUIT OR HIRE ATTORNEYS. THANKS [XXX]. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
POSSIBLE YEAR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS EFFECTIVELY DISABLE VISABILTY OF DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR. DURING MOST RAIN EVENTS WATER FROM THE ACTION OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO THE DRIVER SIDE, CAUSES THAT WATER TO COLLECT ON DRIVER'S WINDOW. AT 60 MPH. THAT WATER CREATES A OBSTRUCTION OF THAT MIRROR ASSEMBLY. ALTHOUGH TEMPORARY, THIS CAN LAST FOR MINUTES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TRUCK FLOATS/SWAYS SIDE TO SIDE DOWN THE ROAD MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL AND REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION LEADING TO OVERCORRECTION AND ADDITIONAL SWAYING. TRUCK HANDLES CURVES POORLY. YOU CANNOT GOOD THE STEERING WHEEL IN ONE PLACE AROUND A CURVE, YOU MUST CONSTANTLY REPOSITION/CORRECT THE WHEEL THROUGHOUT THE CURVE. SUSPENSION IS POORLY DESIGNED, CAUSING TOO MUCH MOTION FOR THE DRIVER TO CONSINRESPOND TOO, LEADING TO FATIGUE AND MUSCLE ACHES. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY REGARDING ALL OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINE 2 AXKE DAYCAB 2019 FREIGHTLINER CASCADIA'S. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR COMPANY SAYS THE 2019 WILL NOT IDLE WHEN IT IS BETWEEN 30 AND 60 DEGREES , WELL PROBLEM IT CAN BE 58 OUTSIDE AND ITS OVER 70 INSIDE, WELL ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS , YEAH NOW NO SAFETY FOR THE DRIVER, AND WE HAVE WOMAN OUT THERE TO. SO I DONT THING THEY WANT TO BE RAPED, SO IDLING THE TRUCK SHOULD BE UP TO THE DRIVER NOT THE COMPANY. WITH OUT PROPER SLEEP YOU NOW HAVE SLEEP DRIVERS DRIVING 80,000 POUND WEAPONS ON THE FREEWAYS, FIRST PERSON KILLED WILL BE ON YOUR HEADS IF THIS ISNT TAKEN CARE OF. CRASH PERVENTION SYSTEM ALL OK BUT WHEN DRIVING ON SLICK ROADS AND SOMEONE JUMPS IN FRONT OF YOU THE TRUCK SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AND WE DONT HAVE CONTROL ANYMORE, OH YEAH THIS IS SAFE NOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
