Hello everyone,

I hope you can help me, because the technician's have no clue anymore!

In april 2012 we've bought a second hand forklift, Type SC3240-1.8, Serial N° 9A136953. From the start I noticed this verry strange problem, one that Crown itself has never ancountered before.

What happens is, sometimes when I change gear (from reverse to forward) my forklift has a mind of it's own. When I steer to the left, it drives forward, like it should. But when I steer to the right, it starts moving backwards, WHILE THE GEAR IS STILL IN FORWARD.

According to Crown I am the only person in the world that has this problem, they've changed the "brake and dir contractors" when they came to repair the truck the first time.
The second time they cleaned out the "linecontractor" and calibrated the "potmeter".
The third time they didn't do all that much, but tought the problem was located in the "TCM".
The fourth time they changed the "TCM".
The fifth and last time a technician came by, they've changed the feedback controler.

I have no clue what's going wrong, or where the issue is located, but neither does Crown. What's hard to believe for me is that I'm the only driver in the world that is encountering this problem.
Did enyone encounter the same problem? Or one verry similar? Any help would be great, because this machine is a safety hazard, and my boss does not want to replace it. So I want to at least know WHY the truck drives in the wrong direction, that way I can prepare for it, and not hit a wall,...

Thanks in advance, if you need any other information, just let me know
