2019 Freightliner Cascadia Problems

While approaching an overpass the collision mitigation system activated my brakes nearly causing the vehicle behind me to rear end my trailer, hit my brakes so hard i was thrown forward.

My 2019 Freightliner Cascadia forward collision brakes activates automatically while on the road without any other vehicle nearby, airbrake malfunction (not released appropriately and fully released) and extremely fuel consumption.

Truck will apply brakes when no objects or vehicles are around. It is very scary and unexpected when the system does this.

:steering. Yes :was unable to steer properly into a curve in road, resulting in truck slamming into ditch. :no :yes :no incident occurred 10/29/2021. we never received any indication of issues until weeks after. upon looking further into the recall we saw that the notices were set to be sent out 10/30/2021. one day after incident. furthermore we also see another recall that was never fixed from 9/20, of which we never were sent any info on and remains not addressed per this website.

POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. NOW IT TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEELS WHEN I PARK ( LOW RPM) THE DEALER CHERGED ME OVER $ 350 AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. JUNK !! IT FEELS LIKE IS LOCKING UP EVEN ON HIGHWAYS WHEN ENGINE CRUISES AT LOW RPM 2 : HEADLIGHTS BAD DESIGN . THE LED / TURN SIGNAL : THE BULB ITSELF IS AN LED LIGHT, BUT IS WAY TO CLOSE TO THE PLASTIC BARS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT, AND THAT CAUSES BURNS IN THE PLASTIC , RESULTING IN A VERY DIM TURN LIGHT SIGNAL AND DAY LIGHT DRIVING LIGHTS . THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO BUY ANOTHER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY CRAP ALSO

This Truck that I'm buying from USCryo Carriers that is a Freightliner has been in the shop numerous times for electrical issues and lighting issues and body and tires problems and they have yet to fix them and get them properly repaired and the Truck is shocking me while driving and whenever laying in the bunkso much it hurts and causes headaches I pay insurance and for the truck, but my company is steady making me pay all repairs even though I have insurance

The contact owns a 2019 Freightliner Cascadia. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the led headlights dimmed, and the contact was unable to see the roadway. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall on the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 375,767.

I am writing to bring to your attention a potentially dangerous situation caused by what I believe to be a manufacturer design flaw with the SS 1034797 M2, 108SD, 114SD Coolant Level Sensor P/N 06-93316-002. On [XXX], one of our trucks (VIN: [XXX]) experienced a low coolant warning and an automatic engine shutdown while traveling on the interstate in a construction zone. As you can imagine, the sudden stoppage of a tractor-trailer in the traffic lanes of a freeway presents an extremely hazardous situation, not only for our driver but for all motorists in the vicinity. For us as a motor carrier, this is compounded by the likelihood of legal liability resulting from any collision involving a stationary truck in such conditions. The root cause of this incident appears to be the failure of the magnet within the surge tank to maintain its buoyancy. When the magnet sinks to the bottom of the tank, it signals the engine control module (ECM) that the coolant level is critically low, triggering an engine shutdown. While I understand the intent is to protect the engine from potential damage, this design flaw creates an unacceptably dangerous scenario—especially since, in many cases, the engine is not actually at risk of damage. In this instance, I instructed the driver to unplug and after a 15-minute period, he restarted the truck and drove to a nearby truck stop. Remarkably, the truck remains operational without the sensor repair, further underscoring the superficial nature of this issue. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. We have encountered similar sensor failures across our fleet, but this particular event was the most severe. While I am not an engineer, it seems logical that the coolant level sensor should be paired with a high-temperature reading before an engine shutdown is initiated.

VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING OIL AT 20.000 MILES. VERY HARD STEERING WHEN LOW RPM ( PARKING AND ECO - TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEED , RESULTING IN LOW RPM. SAFETY PROBLEM IF A TURN IS REQUIRED) BLUETHOOTH IS USELESS. VERY BAD RECEPTION ON THE OTHER END BRAKES : SHIFT SOMETIME TO LEFT OR TO RIGHT, WHEN APLLIED. FUEL GAUGE OFF BY 1/8 OF CAPACITY AND GETTING WORSE

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

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.
