Truck is useless since purchase in May 2023. Cannot pull trailers or use for work. Truck has been in shop for one month and has sat since May/June. Mhc will not take truck back or give a loaner or different unit.1. Instrument panel blacks out or has numerous vertical white lines.2. Trailer cable disconnected warning. Comes on even when bobtail and comes on when all cables are properly connected and secure.3. Shake/wobble in front end passenger side.4. Truck is governed.5. Slow/poor acceleration. Bobtail or with trailer (even empty trailer). Slow to the point that it is a safety issue. Impedes traffic.6. Does not pull loads well. I struggled with a load that was under **** lbs. Any type of hill or incline it performs horribly. Struggles with inclines even if bobtail.7. Was given a clean DOT inspection from MHC. Took truck to get DOT inspection the next day in **** per carrier. Truck did not pass. Had to replace brake chamber and lights. Headlight keeps going out which points back to a possible electrical issue.8. Tires are blowing. 2 tires had blown within the last two weeks. One under a load, one while bobtailing.9. Does not skip shift correctly. Sometimes it skips shifts, most times it goes through every single gear.10. Fifth wheel does not properly lock around kingpin. We have had to beat the release handle in for the jaws to engage. Plate is broken so cannot safely vonnect to trailer.11. Fuel mileage is non existent. A full tank of diesel does not even give us a round trip to *******, ** to N. **********, IN back to *******. Leads me to believe that the tank float is off because that makes no sense at all. 12. Check engine light is on.13. Discussed getting a warranty for the truck. **** told us to contact him so he could send us to a lady so that we could purchase a warranty directly from her at his cost. Was never given the contact info and he never responded to any texts or emails. We were charged **** for a warranty anyway
