AUTOCAR XPEDITOR HAS ISSUES WITH "DEAD PEDAL." MEANING THAT WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE FUEL DELIVERY STOPS AND THE MOTOR STALLS, SOMETIMES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE DEAD PEDAL ALWAYS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO ROLL BACKWARDS UNEXPECTEDLY. WASTE MANAGEMENT SEATTLE OPERATES DOZENS OF THESE TRUCKS AND DESPITE SEVERAL DRIVER COMPLAINTS HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE ISSUE IN ANY WAY. THE FLEET OF AFFECTED TRUCKS OPERATES PRIMARILY ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING TO GET TO ROUTE OR THE DUMP. THE DEAD PEDAL ISSUE HAPPENS TYPICALLY FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE DRIVER IS STANDING AND DRIVING.*DT*JB

MANAGEMENT HAD BEEN INFORMED AND HAS SEEMINGLY REFUSED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO WORSEN AND THE FLEET IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OR SO OLD. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCIDENTS INVOLVING A TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE HURT OR KILLED.*DT CONSUMER STATED I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SOMEONE AT MY FACILITY THAT HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION REGARDING JUST HOW MANY TRUCKS IN THE FLEET THAT ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.*JB*DT*TR*DT CONSUMER UPDATE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.*JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
