Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When using the lane-departure and 'steering correction' system this vehicle will attempt to suddenly, sharply, and dangerously change lanes. This morning (8/26/20), while traveling on a four lane divided highway with cruise control and lane departure active, the vehicle jerked left into a turn-only lane, overriding my manual steering of the car in the straight travel lane. Had another car been in the turning lane we would have nearly certainly collided, as my car was at least 30% into the lane before I could react and bring it back into the center lane.”
