No one would know how many they make. It seems, from everyone here, they have recently been delaying all overtrails coming in. Given it is a small sample size, but there must be a reason it is occuring, and since there doesn't seem to be the issue with vibrations on any of the new ones, one would guess it is either being fixed at the factory or at the port.
Man I sure hope this is the case!
Could be. But we all know they have caller ID. The fact that he was supposed to call me back Wednesday afternoon and didn’t, tells me all I need to know. Not his problem, he will act likes concerned about the customer but in reality, being a sales manager, if it doesn’t involve a new vehicle being sold and more commission he’s not going to be bothered with it.
What would be considered a new overtrail? I bought mine middle of August.
Anything after they started the QC holds at the port which I think started back in early July if I remember correctly.
Mine was delivered 8/25 and has the ‘vibration issue’. Tech supervisor agrees, especially around 70-80mph. Taking it back next week for testing/diagnostics
I initially thought the same but so much is “lost in translation” when folks are describing what “they feel”. Sticking Caliper piston could and does translate to a shudder or vibration feeling. PTV and sticky caliper piston are two totally different concepts/conditions.
I tried to drag the brakes to engage the pistons lightly over a long distance and the behavior did not change. Sticky calipers should lead to the car wander and not track straight since there's deviations in wheel speed. If it's in the front, you would also feel it in the steering wheel. I'm going to borrow a friends' pyrometer to check the brake disk temps and look for deviations as a sticky caliper would also lead to a rotor exhibiting a higher temp.
If the rotor get’s hot enough you might even see visual signs…
This seems more plausible than brakes to me.
