PARKING BRAKE LOCKUP ON 2007 FREIGHTLINER FRED ________________________________________ I HAVE A 2007 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BAY ON A FREIGHTLINER FRED (FRONT ENGINE DIESEL) CHASSIS. WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY I NOTICED A SUDDEN DECREASE IN ENGINE POWER AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. CHECKED SERVICE BRAKES AND THEY WERE STILL WORKING OK. BEING ON A NARROW HILL COUNTRY TEXAS 2 LANE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING. FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO SAFELY STOP. WHEN I DID I FOUND A HEAVY BRAKE BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER CALLING FREIGHTLINER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE PARKING BRAKE (PB) IS A SPRING ACTUATED BAND THAT CLAMPS AROUND A DISK LOCATED ON THE DRIVESHAFT IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRANSMISSION AND IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTUATED WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK. THIS BAND IS HELD OPEN BY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SNIFFED OUT OF PARK INTO A DRIVE GEAR. SOMETHING BROKE AND STOPPED THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SO THE SPRING ACTUATED BAND CLOSED ON THE DRIVE SHAFT DISK, EFFECTIVELY APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FREIGHTLINER SERVICE SOLUTION # 3602 REPLACES THE ENTIRE PARK BRAKE SYSTEM WITH A MECHANICAL ONE. THEY PROVIDE PARTS BUT OWNER HAS TO PAY LABOR TO CORRECT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! A DEFECTIVE PARKING BRAKE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT NICE TO HAVE SERVICE ISSUE. MY CONTINUED DRIVING COULD EASILY HAVE STARTED A FI

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
