What 1999 Freightliner FLD120 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
A problem with the door lock prevents the door from being opened from the inside. I feel that this may prevent the occupant from being able to exit the vehicle quickly in the event of an accident or fire. On several occasions I have had to hand my key to someone outside the vehicle and ask them to unlock my door from the outside so I could exit the vehicle.
Rear bushings are not designed properly. Bushings quit accepting grease. Manufacturer believes consumer should replace bushings.
Ongoing problem with vehicle wandering across the road vehicle been in / out of dealer's shop on three occasions, and problem still occurring. > please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
