I have experienced this issue a few times, and so have several acquaintances who drive the same make and model of truck as I do. Whenever it rains or I go through a truck wash, the starter shifter blocked comes on the screen while driving, causing the RPMs to fluctuate and resulting in a complete loss of power to the vehicle. One dealership informed me that this is a common problem, attributed to moisture seeping into a harness located near the transmission. Tried connecting the truck to a compu

While driving on the highway on cruise at 70mph the right front brakes locked up. The day was clear. I was driving across a bridge. The truck pulled to the right and I fought to pull it back on to the road. My company has the incident on camera. I was pulling a loaded tanker. Had the pavement been wet or snowy I could have easily jack knifed. If a vehicle would have been next to me I would have struck them. The vehicle was inspected by our mechanic and was told the system was within specs. The t

Semi was traveling on the highway and transporting a 48,000 pound steel coil. The steel coil was secured with 4 chains. The automatic emergency braking system engaged with nothing in front of the vehicle, causing it to suddenly come to a dead stop in traffic. This caused the steel coil to break free of its bounds, crash through the trailer and into the vehicle cab, trapping the driver.

Ascending Tehachapi Pass CA Hwy 58 Eastbound in the left lane grossing 45,000lbs and traveling at 55mph with cruise control ON. I was passing another slower moving truck(~35-40mph). Before I came along the other vehicle the highway curved to the left. The Collision Aviodance System(CAS) didn't alarm, however the cruise control cut power and Automatic Emergency Braking(AEB) hardbraked my truck reducing the speed from 55mph to 40-45mph. This was sudden and unexpected. Once I determined the issue,

The computer system that logs and keeps track of hours is not working properly. The wires are I guess are messed up. Is that dangerous? My hubby works at the Walmart dc and he said a girl slipped and got a bad spinal injury from the flooring not being non-skid.
On Off ramp I-40 W Segliman, AZ there was a cattle guard 10 feet before Stop sign. I was braking for Stop Sign. AEB(aka CAS Collision Aviodance System) detected the cattle guard grate as obstruction, not something flat of the pavement, and apply maximum braking(Note: I was already braking). It had been snowing that night thou at this location the road was dry. Unnecessary panic braking by automated system can cause lose of control of vehicles on wet and icy surfaces. How is it safe for the AEB/C
