• Mdrive transmission failure to disengage investigation # PE20005

  In a review of field reports submitted under early warning reporting (ewr) 49cfr 579.22(c), over several years by mack trucks, the office of defects investigation (odi) identified a trend of drivers who complained that their transmissions failed to disengage from gear while slowing the vehicle. This failure to disengage resulted in the truck wanting to pull through the service brakes when coming to a stop. Affected trucks are equipped with an mdrive automated manual transmissions. The repair has involved the replacement and/or adjustment of the service brake switch.Odi previously investigated (pe13-268) a similar concern on 2007-2012 volvo trucks equipped with an i-shift automated manual transmission in which the clutch would not automatically disengage as intended. The investigation resulted in volvo releasing safety recall 13v-268.Both volvo i-shift and mack mdrive transmissions share similar configurations in their design and function. Mack is a subsidiary of ab volvo who also manufacture volvo trucks.This preliminary evaluation is opened to examine the alleged defect in all affected vehicles.The odi report cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid using the following complaint identification number: 10839430

Mack/volvo mp8/d-13 injectors: mack trucks equipped with the mp8 engines have a known injector issue that causes the truck to 1) mis-fire at road speed creating a loss of power. 2) injector failure causes excessive soot causing on-road failures.3) the truck may not be restarted or able to be moved due to excessive cranking due to injector failure. 4) trucks need to be towed to a repair facility when breakdown occurs. We own multiple units. This injector failure issue has been documented on majority of trucks. Documents are available. Please have an investigator contact me.

We had an issue with this truck and the m-drive transmission when the drive was coming of a highway on an exit ramp he was slowing down and the vehicles clutch stayed engaged and the driver rolled into the intersection almost hitting a car. The vehicles clutch is automatically disengages when you push on the brake while the clutch didn't disengage because when of the brake light wires had developed a corrosion spot from the winter weather and shorted out the light and caused the fuse to blow. The brake lights are what tells the clutch to disengage but with the fuse being blown the clutch did not disengage and kept rolling into intersection luckily my driver was smart enough to reach up and push neutral button on dash to put transmission in neutral and stop the truck. Also in our investigation we found when the fuse blows for the brake lights the cruise control will not shut off by tapping the brakes you have to manually shut it off by the switch i have no photos as nothing seriously happened my mechanic changed the fuse on the road and found the corroded wire. Mack should have a better solution than using brake lights to disengage these controls
