INTERNATIONAL Complaints

MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE LIGHTS GO OUT ALONE. THE MOTOR NOT WOERK AFTER CERTAIN MILES. IT STATIONARY ON STREET.

WE HAVE BEEN UNAWARE OF THESE RECALLS, AND AFTER DRIVERS ENDANGERING THEMSELVES AND PUBLIC SAFETY, LOSING TIME, MONEY, AND AFFECTED OUR CARRIER RATING DUE TO UNEXPLAINED LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS GETTING TOWED AND USELESS REPAIRS. THE TRUCK HAS SHUT OFF IN MOTION AND WHILE IDLE, FROM HIGHWAYS TO CITY STREETS AND PARKING LOTS

INTERNATIONAL LT SERIES WITH EATON ENDURANT TRANSMISSION. EATON ENDURANT TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHEN AIR BRAKE SYSTEM IS BELOW 100 PSI TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. THE LT AIR GOVERNOR DOES NOT TURN AIR COMPRESSOR BACK ON UNTIL 95 PSI OF AIR. LEAVES DRIVERS STUCK ON ROAD, WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS OR HILLS. IT DOES NOT TAKE MORE THAN TWO OR THREE BRAKE APPLICATIONS ON A LOADED TRACTOR TRAILER TO BRING AIR SYSTEM FROM 125 PSI OF AIR TO 100 PSI OF AIR. I'VE HAD TO ADVISE MY DRIVERS THAT IF THEY LOSE ENOUGH AIR, THEY SHOULD SEE IF THEY'RE BELOW 95 PSI OR IN THE 96-100 PSI ZONE WHERE TRUCK WILL NOT BUILD ADDITIONAL AIR PRESSURE. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

SMOG CONTROL SYSTEM IS FAILING. EGR VALUE FAILS, ALLOW ANTIFREEZE TO BY PASS THE SYSTEM. THIS RESULTS IN USING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ANTIFREEZE GOING OUT THE EXHAUST. AVERAGE COST TO REPAIR IS $6500.

MY DRIVER WAS HEADING UP THE 93/95 RENO WHEN THE FRONT SEAL BROKE ON THE NAVISTAR MAXXFORCE ENGINE. MY TRACTOR RELEASED ALL OF THE OIL ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHICH CAUSES ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE I'VE ALREADY REPLACED TWO TWO FRONT SEALS WITH MY OTHER TRACTORS WHICH ARE 2013 PROSTAR MAXXFORCE ENG

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS YOU GET AN OPEN FLOW OF EXHAUST COMING IN AT WILL, WHICH IS FULL OF SOOT, BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT COMBUSTING ALL THE FUEL COMPLETELY AND IT GOES INTO THE EGR COOLERS.THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, VALVE AND COOLERS INSIDE THE EGR HOUSING ARE FILLED WITH SOOT. FUEL ECONOMY DETERIORATES, A DASHBOARD LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE.

THE SUBJECT TRACTOR-TRAILER WAS EQUIPPED WITH A GRAB HANDLE FASTENING SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER TO UTILIZE WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE A 1 1/4 INCH STAINLESS STEEL BOLT AND CARBON STEEL NUT FASTENING THE DRIVER'S SIDE GRAB HANDLE'S UPPER BRACKET TO THE GALVANIZED LOW CARBON TORCA UNISTRAP STAINLESS STEEL HEAT SHIELD CREATING ADDITIONAL UNINTENDED STRESSES AND PREVENTING PROPER TORQUEING OF THE CONNECTION. THIS BOLT WAS TOO LONG AND WHEN TIGHTENED ACTUALLY PUSHED THE UPPER CONNECTION, INCLUDING THE CAPTURED NUT, AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE RELEASING THE CAPTURED NUT WHICH LED TO ITS FAILURE. THOSE MISMATCHED STEEL MATERIALS LED TO PREFERENTIAL ACCELERATED CORROSION AND FATIGUE CRACKING, CONTRARY TO AND IN VIOLATION OF ASTM STANDARD F593. IN ADDITION, THE SUBJECT TRACTOR-TRAILER WAS DESIGNED TO USE A SINGLE-BOLTED CONNECTION INSTEAD OF A DUEL-BOLTED CONNECTION; OR WAS DESIGNED TO USE A MULTI-PIECE GRAB HANDLE SYSTEM INSTEAD OF A SINGLE PIECE GRAB HANDLE SYSTEM RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE GRAB HANDLE FASTENING SYSTEM AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR OCCURRENCES, INCLUDING THE DELOROSA MATTER. SEE DETAILED ATTACHMENTS. *TR
