Freightliner acceleration problems
Owners have filed 68 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Freightliner vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 18 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Freightliner Cascadia, worst in 2024.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
