All Forward Collision Avoidance Adaptive Cruise Control Complaints
I started the truck after not driving for 1 day and a heavy rain storm the day prior. I attempted to drive bobtail when the brakes locked up. The traction control light came on then went back off. Then the adaptive cruise control notification came on. The regon came on then went back off. A speedometer sign with an exclamation mark came up and would not go away. After attempting to go down the road the brakes continued to lock up, would not release and caused the rear passenger tires to go bald and lose my job.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 KENWORTH CONSTRUCT T680. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH SNOW OR ICE, THE VEHICLE'S ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD FLASH AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE APPROACHING SOMETHING AND ACTIVATED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PREVENT A CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED DURING THIS TYPE OF WEATHER EVEN WHEN THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBJECTS NEARBY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE KENWORTH HOTLINE FOR VEHICLE BREAKDOWNS WHO STATED THAT THEY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 292,000.
