“Ran into a cemex block with no light pole. The parking lot was dark and cemex block was not marked. Forward collision detection system did not work and airbag ejected some shrapnel cutting my arm and shatter ing my bone in forearm and wrist. I’m lucky it did not hit me in the head or I would be dead today. By the grace of god I’m still alive Amen !”
NHTSA complaint #11679655, filed 2025-08“On August 20, 2026, at approximately 7:54 AM during the daytime, I was driving approximately 5–9 mph up a dimly lit parking garage ramp, turning left into my usual parking spot for work on the ramp.

The car in front of me started accelerating again at this time I was doing 10-15 mph. She slammed on her breaks again and my breaking system kicked in again but I also slammed my foot on the break. My car did not stop immediately it felt like the braking system had control over how fast I could stop my car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11607845, filed 2024-08“I am driving the vehicle and suddenly the information center and entertainment center will suddenly go black without warning. This will stay black for approximately 10 seconds. Followed by 2 chimes. A series of 4 lights on the drivers side front dash will come on. I believe this is related to the forward collision system(the lights that come on). The entertainment and information center then come back on without any errors or messages. I noticed this issue occurred all spring, summer and fall of and part of winter of 2025. Then it stopped thru mid april 2026 and then started again. …”
