Bearings on fan hub failed fan flew off pulley destroyingpulley bearing assembly, fan, and radiator

Freightliner custom chassis overheated due to debris entering theradiator.the problem is that the engine crankcase breather tube was located in the suction path of airflow through the charge air cooler and radiator. This allowed a fine oil mist to be deposited on the charge air cooler and radiator. This caused an accumulationof road dirt on the charge ir cooler and radiator. The fix was a breather tube extension which frieghtliner has changed their design to incorporate this. Consumer was denied cost of repair/correction and felt a recall should've been issued not a service bulletin. In addition, he would like reimbursement for cost of repairs, $748.15. *ph

Recall repair problems with the dealership. Mjs

The driveshaft detached from the transmission flange with no warning. The driveshaft fell to the roadway surface and caused the vehicle rear wheels to lock up. Fortunately, the front of the drive shaft did not dig into the roadway surface which could have caused a serious traffic accident. The vehicle was rendered completely inoperable. This vehicle is a recreational vehicle and was being used to tow a large fifth-wheel travel trailer. The travel trailer was within the weight limits for the truck. The travel trailer sustained minor damage from the loose pieces of the driveshaftassembly. Although used as an rv, this truck is similar to many other freightliner fl60 trucks in commercial service.

Transmission failed without warning causing vehicle to be stuck in 7th gear. I am bringing this to your attention. Due to the fact that many people have filed complaints, yet there is still no recall on this transmission. Some people have experienced several failures. Having to have the transmission to be replaced several times. Something has to be done. Replacing a failed transmission with another that is soon to fail on you again. Is not a solution to this problem. Yet spicer continues to get away with replacing these transmissions with the same faulty transmission over and over again. What is it going to take? we are talking about commercial vehicles here, hauling freight up and down our nations highways. I hope it isn't going to take one of these transmissions to fail resulting in someone having a accident. Or pieces flying off of a truck resulting in someone else having a accident or causing a fatality. Please many people have complained about this transmission. I was directed to your site from the many others who have complained. Please lets solve this problem before something tragic happens. Thank you!
