What owners report
We ordered a Western Star WITHOUT collision mitigation and when we got the truck it had a WABCO CMS. We have had nothing but problems of hard breaking on overpasses and bridges and false readings of cars on the other side of highway. The truck has been in FYDA Freightliner for about a month total and they "can't find anything wrong". Their suggestion was us to remove a bullguard and drive a few runs without it. The truck is inconsistent with it's safety feature, which again we have complained about since day ONE since we didn't want it to begin with.
