Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had adaptive cruise on, was at a stop light, so adaptive stopped, the truck in front of me moved because the light turned green, so to engage the cruise I gently gave it gas and I felt the cruise kick so I moved my foot and then the car lunged into the trailer hitch of the truck in front of me. I had no time to react, the crash warning did not flash nor did the braking assist engage. Luckily the guy I hit was not affected the hitch prevented damage to his truck but my car took all the damage. …”
