| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The first failure-coolant system-i was never given a straight answer as to why this system constantly failed (over 25 times the truck shut itself down on the highway at highway speeds causing some very dangerous situations) i am still in disbelief that i was never seriously injured or killed due to that truck--i have only a few documents to prove these breakdowns as mainly i was the one who refilled my tanks 10 times a day on the side of the road due to constant leaks that freightliner could never fix or find-also they told me that i could not get documentation because the work i was having done was "warranty work" and didnt constitute getting paperwork unless i actually paid for something-they told me this was company standard policy--second problem--fuel lockup--2 times the fuel system locked up(i was later told by a volvo mechanic that this was a common problem on freightliners that should have been fixed before the truck was even sold-but freightliner could never find the problem and even told me several times that "nothing was wrong with my truck"--yet i was still charged several times for a towing bill to get my supposedly nonbroken down truck to their shops--i always used freightliner service because i didnt want my warranty sacrificed and much of the work was done (by legal arrangement) for free--this fuel line problem almost cost me my life twice--i was very lucky to not get hurt. *ak |
