What owners report
WHEN TRAVELING IN HOT WEATHER AND RUNNING BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR AIR CONDITIONER, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AND UP TO HOURS AFTER BEING RUN BUT ONLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN (IE: CONSTRUCTION ZONES, STOPPING, TURNING). THE VEHICLE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART BUT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED WITHIN 3 MINUTES. SINCE WE DO NOT LIVE IN AN EXTREMELY HOT AREA THE STALLING USUALLY OCCURS WHILE VACATIONING (ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, UTAH, FLORIDA, NEBRASKA). WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT TWO DIFFERENT AUTHORIZED DEALERS AND WERE TOLD THEY "WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND AT ONE POINT WERE TOLD THAT A RECALL PART WAS INSTALLED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FREIGHTLINER FOURWINDS MANDALAY (NA). WHILE DRIVING 50-65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND SHOOK. THE WHEEL SLIDES OR MOVES ON THE TIRE RIM AND SHIFTS OUT OF THE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES. EVERY TIME THE CONTACT DRIVES OVER A BUMP, THE RIM MOVES OR SLIDES ON THE HUB. THE HOLE IN THE RIM IS TOO LARGE FOR THE HUB. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
