DASH LIGHTING BRIGHTNESS CANNOT BE DIMMED SUFFICIENTLY TO PREVENT A HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.
NHTSA complaint 11337159 - Filed Apr 23, 2020Failure Sep 1, 20181,000 milesLincoln University, PAExterior lighting
DIGITAL DASH IS VERY BRIGHT FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THERE IS NO WAY TO DIM THE DISPLAY ENOUGH.
NHTSA complaint 11322046 - Filed Dec 10, 2018Failure Nov 30, 201850 milesWinter Haven, FLExterior lighting
THE DIGITAL DASH, EVEN AT THE DIMMEST SETTING, IS SO BRIGHT IT IMPAIRS NIGHT VISION AND MAKES NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS. A FREIGHTLINER REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND MOST DRIVERS JUST PUT A RAG OVER IT AT NIGHT.
NHTSA complaint 11157247 - Filed Dec 4, 2018Failure Dec 2, 20183,600 milesBeaumont, TXExterior lighting
THE FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS IN MY MOTORHOME INCLUDES A DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL. AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT DIM ENOUGH, CAUSING GLARE AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
