What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Fccc MT45, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
A SPECIFIC MODEL OF FREIGHTLINER CHASIS REQUIRES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE 1 AND 1/2 INCHES BEFORE THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE SWITCHED ON. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE 1 AND1/2 TRAVEL TO BE THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE OF A 8/10'S PANIC STOP. IN OTHER WORD MORE THAN WHAT IS USED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. *TR

From owner reports, verbatim
WE PURCHASED A CARGO TRAILER TO MOVE OUR FURNITURE AND BELONGINGS FROM COVENANT CARGO. THE TRAILER IS RATED FOR 2900 LBS AND WE TOOK TO OUR TRIP SHY OF 2500LBS. IN CT THE AXLE BROKE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WHEEL SHOT ACROSS 6 LANES OF HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. IT'S TRUE THAT THE ROADS ARE NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITIONS BUT THE TRAILER SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CONDITIONS OF I95. THE MANUFACTURER DID SEND US ANOTHER AXLE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ON BUT REFUSES TO PAY THE REPAIR AND THE LODGING COST. IT TOOK 9 DAYS TO RECEIVE THE AXLE AND HOTELS AVERAGE $100. THE NEW AXLE DID FARE BETTER BUT HAS AN INADEQUATE SUSPENSION AND THE WHOLE TRAILER FRAME IS BENT AS WELL AS THE WALL FROM THE ACCIDENT. THE MANAGER FROM COVENANT CARGO REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME OTHER THAN THE AXLE HE SENT. THE VEHICLE INFO IN YOUR DROP DOWN MENU IS INACCURATE BUT I COULDN'T FIND COVENANT CARGO IN THE CHOICES SO I PICKED IT RANDOMLY. *TR
