What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Hino NV8J, 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
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH I HAD MY AUTO GEAR SELECTOR IN 4 GEAR, AND THE EXHAUST BRAKE WAS SET ON. WHILE SLOWING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT SEEMED AS IF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED INTO SECOND GEAR. THE EXHAUST BRAKE WAS COMING OFF AND ON IN RAPID SUCCESSION. I WAS PUSHING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. I SHIFTED THE AUTO GEAR SELECTOR DOWN TO 2ND AND PUSHED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD. THE TRUCK SLOWED TO LESS THAN 5MPH BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DISENGAGE, WHICH RESULTED IN A SLOW SPEED REAR END COLLISION. AT THE POINT OF IMPACT MY TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND DIRECTED US TO MOVE OUR VEHICLES OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING A SHOT DISTANCE WITH THE EXHAUST BRAKE OFF THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED AT A STOP SIGN, LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME AND I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES WHICH STOPPED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE YET TO VISIT A DEALER BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LOCK-UP TORQUE CONVERTER WOULDN'T RELEASE AND THAT IS WHY THE TRANNY WOULDN'T COAST AS NORMAL. AT LEAST THAT MY GUESS. THE TRANNY IS AN ALLISON 3000RDS. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
