Example complaints

“I was stopped in a turn lane to make a left turn across 3 lanes of opposing traffic on a major us highway. . I started the turn and the pre-sense system stopped the car as it was entering the opposing lane of traffic almost causing a disaster as the oncoming traffic was moving approximate 50-60 MPH. Fortunately for the oncoming car, the lane adjacent was empty at the moment so they could move over and pass me safely as I was stuck in the lane of the oncoming traffic with the brakes automatically applied.”
NHTSA complaint #11258717, filed 2019-09, 1,950 miles“On two occasions so far, when making a left turn in a four way intersection, the pre-sense system detected an oncoming car way too early and applied the brakes hard just as I was well into the turn and needed to get out of the intersection before I became a danger to the oncoming car. This put me into a potentially very dangerous situation. I am aware that the sensitivity can be adjusted but, in this case, there was no danger at all until my car braked suddenly as I was trying to complete my turn safely. That actually created a hazard. …”
