Example complaints
Forward collision avoidance: “Regularly, perhaps every 2 months, my car's automatic emergency braking system will activate without cause. It has always happened on a highway and it seems to be related to when I pass a large truck. The system will trigger, causing a beeping noise and an image of a car to show up in the heads-up display. About half the time, the brakes will be applied very hard. This situation only lasts for perhaps a second or two and then disappears. There is never a car in front of me so there is no threat and no reason for the system to trigger. …”
