Freightliner electrical problems

Owners have filed 133 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Freightliner vehicles — 9% of everything reported about the brand, across 28 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Freightliner Cascadia, worst in 2012.

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.
