ON SUNDAY, THE 22ND OF MARCH, I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON US HWY 45. THE SKY WAS CLEARING AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. I HAD MY CRUISE SET TO 65 MPH. AS I APPROACHED AN OVERPASS, THE DISTANCE SENSOR ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF THE OVERPASS AS A STOPPED VEHICLE. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS WENT OFF AND THE VEHICLE DID A HARD BRAKE. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. I TOOK IT TO OUR SHOP AND THE SYSTEM WAS CLEANED. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE SENSOR MISTOOK AN OVERHEAD INTERSTATE SIGN FOR A STOPPED VEHICLE. AGAIN, THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS AND A HARD BRAKE. KENWORTH TECHS WERE SENT OUT TO OUR SHOP TO MAKE REPAIRS. EVERY ONE OF OUR DRIVERS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ME, THEY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY TRAILER.

Is 8 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2020 and 2024, roughly 2 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
