Where's it leaking?

 

Where's it leaking?

 

I have driven these trucks. They look pretty but build quality sucks. Ice does form on the inside of the windows. All kinds of electronic gremlins lights not working right with few mechanics even knowing how to work in them. Headlights get dirty from being recessed in always having to clean them off. Stay away from this western hunk of crap.

 

Come on @CJndaTruck , don't hold back. Tell us how ya really feel about it.

 

So what I'm hearing is they should have tested it more before releasing it for sale.

 

It's the same cab and sleeper used since 2003. All it really is, is just a new hood and fairings. It sounds like a quality control problem.

 

That's why I'm having trouble believing it's that problematic, only thing new is the aerodynamics.

 

Well the leak seems to be a condensation problem not a real leak. Lots of electrical bugs tho. I have a coolant leak but that's thermoking issue not WS. I seem to love the truck one day and hate it the next. Overall I'm disappointed with it. They should have never had these things built in NC. Quality of work just stinks.

 

I went and looked at them yesterday, sales manager told me they moved production to Portland because of qc issues.

I was sure hoping you were gonna have a good experience with it.

 

Are you not running the recirc setting enough on the a/c? Constellations had leak problems, but the Stratosphere eliminated the issue. When you say electrical bugs, are you talking about sensor issues or canbus issues. Freightliner has moved WS production quite a few times since they bought them, which just seems asinine to me.
