Purchased new 2015 pete on7/29/2014 from rush peterbilt sealy texas with @ 3 miles showing on odometer. On @ 7/31/2014 stopped in waco texas with vehicle to check securement of load and when released parking brake the parking brake indicator remained on, engine derated, speedo failed to work and vehicle unsafe to drive in current condition. I drove @ 2 miles to rush peterbilt waco and waited for service to open. Restarted vehicle after @ 1 hour and issue wasn't occurring. Dealer said nothing they could do. Delivered in irving tx and went to rush irving and advised they were to busy to look at it for at least 4-5 days. Returned to bertram tx. Vehicle was sent to rush peterbilt sealy until 8/7/2014and failed to repair issue. Vehicle ans since been in peterbilt sealy and peterbilt buda texas for 26 days without being repaired.
We operate 6 brand new peterbilt 388 car haulers. Every truck randomly blows drive inside tire. Once tire blows it can blow adjacent tire. So far we had about 20 blow out in 2 month time. Only solution so far we found was to reroute exhaust pipe to the side and replace tires to all position tires. No reimbursement from peterbilt. Called every possible number, but no response. This is a factory defect and exhaust causes inside tire to overheat and cause blow out. Tires blow every 1000-3000 miles. We have spend over 30,000$ on road calls and tire replacement so far.
Peterbilt 389 sleeper cab has no rear window, backup alarm or backup camera. Led to fatality in march 2016.

6 peterbilt my company operates are 2014 and 2015 car haulers. All are consistently destroyingrear axel tiresboth sides driver and passenger (thread is coming out). Damaged seems to happen due to overheat of tires. We tried using different brand of tires, but blow out did not stop. We took trucks to [xxx] and they are unable to find any issues. With each occurrence thread from drive tire is coming off and tire still holds air. It damages all lights on truck then it damages mud guards and breaks safety wings on the trailer. Each time costs about 2000$ plus road service. Only solution we found at this time to run all position tires on drive tires. So far we did not have any issues for past 30 days. Last truck we purchased from [xxx], they agreed to swap tires at their own expense to all position... No solution is offered to us. We have lost over $40,000 so far on brand new trucks...information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
