From owner reports, verbatim
TPMS continues to not work and show false readings and/or no readings at all with continued warnings on the dash instrument cluster effecting operation of vehicles other instrument warning systems. Recall was issued in 2022 for this system for manufacture and has not resolved issues. Safety of all drivers and passengers is a concern as all warning systems are compromised as tire pressure and temperature are incorrect or missing. Vehicle has been back to manufactures repair centers several times with no resolve. It is understanding that this same problem is still current in many of the Freightliner vehicles of this year model.
TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAILS AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION AND GOES TO MAXIMUM VALUES OF 136 PSI AND 400F. THIS IS PART OF THE FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS AND NOT THE AMERICAN COACH TRADITION.
