NHTSA complaint 11282563 - Filed Nov 22, 2019Failure Nov 22, 20195,100 milesMarysville, WAFuel/propulsion system
AUTOCAR XPEDITOR HAS ISSUES WITH "DEAD PEDAL." MEANING THAT WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE FUEL DELIVERY STOPS AND THE MOTOR STALLS, SOMETIMES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE DEAD PEDAL ALWAYS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO ROLL BACKWARDS UNEXPECTEDLY. WASTE MANAGEMENT SEATTLE OPERATES DOZENS OF THESE TRUCKS AND DESPITE SEVERAL DRIVER COMPLAINTS HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE ISSUE IN ANY WAY. THE FLEET OF AFFECTED TRUCKS OPERATES PRIMARILY ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING TO GET TO ROUTE OR THE DUMP. THE DEAD PEDAL ISSUE HAPPENS TYPICALLY FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE DRIVER IS STANDING AND DRIVING.*DT*JB
NHTSA complaint 11281729 - Filed Nov 8, 2019Failure Nov 8, 20193,900 milesGraham, WAEngine, Power train, Steering
OUR ENTIRE NEW FLEET OF TRUCKS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, HAVE A SEVERE STALLING ISSUE. WHILE WORKING FROM THE WORK SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT DOWN TO IDLE WHILE UNDER ANY LEVEL OF THROTTLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN A SINGLE INSTANCE OR SEVERAL BACK TO BACK, CAUSING AN IMMANENT THREAT WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS ON A SLOPE OR LOOSES STEERING ABILITY BECAUSE THE STALL IS SOMETIMES SO BAD THAT IT KILLS THE ENGINE ALTOGETHER. MANAGEMENT HAD BEEN INFORMED AND HAS SEEMINGLY REFUSED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO WORSEN AND THE FLEET IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OR SO OLD. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCIDENTS INVOLVING A TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE HURT OR KILLED.*DT CONSUMER STATED I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SOMEONE AT MY FACILITY THAT HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION REGARDING JUST HOW MANY TRUCKS IN THE FLEET THAT ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.*JB*DT*TR*DT CONSUMER UPDATE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.*JB
