COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN 2014. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT "THE FACTORY DOES NOT SUPPLY REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE AS THE TRANSMISSIONS (AISIN) HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND THEY'RE HAVING DEALERS SOURCE OUT REBUILT UNITS FROM 3RD PARTY SUPPLIERS AS THEY'RE NOT DEALING WITH IT. THE TRUCK HAS SINCE SUFFERED 3 (TOTAL) COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITHIN 1 YEAR AND LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. FACTORY IS AWARE OF A MAJOR POWER TRAIN PROBLEM, AND HAVE FAILED TO RECALL, RECTIFY OR OFFER A SOLUTION TO CONSUMERS. 2 UNANSWERED E-MAILS WERE SENT TO JOHN MUSIAL, DIRECTOR OF HINO SERVICE OPERATIONS, REQUESTING ASSISSTANCE WITH THIS MATTER.

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.
