Freightliner transmission problems

Owners have filed 94 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Freightliner vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Freightliner Columbia, worst in 2005.

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.
