HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM FIVE TIMES. TYPICALLY, THE FAILURE RECURS TWO HUNDRED MILES AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE.

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

WHILE DRIVING IT IS HARD TO SHIFT GEAR, AND SOMETIMES IS UNABLE TO SHIFT. IT IS WORSE IN THE MORNINGS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. *AK SHIFTING THE GEAR WAS HARD BECAUSE OF LINKAGE AND CLUTCH WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED MOTOR MOUNTS INSTALLED. NEW CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSIN AND OTHER REPAIRS BUT THE PROBLEM SITLL CONTINUED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE VEHCILE WAS A LEMON, AND WANTED TO TRADE IN BUT COULD NOT GET FAIR PRICE. *YH

TRUCKS LEANS TO THE LEFT AND WHEN HITTING A POT HOLE STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. THE LEFT REAR SPRING WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE BOX CROSS MEMBERS WAS HITTING ON THE LEFT AND REAR TIRES WITH 10,500 LBS, LOAD CAPACITY IS 12,540 LBS. BOX CROSS MEMEBERS CUT BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO TURN OVER AND PULLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
