Example complaints

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

“When driving at night in the far left lane going 72 MPH with the adaptive cruise control on, the truck randomly slammed on the brakes and the red crash indicator flashed although there was nothing in front of the truck. If someone was behind me, it is likely they would have rear ended my vehicle. There seems to be a defect in the auto cruise control,although Ford believes this behavior is normal.”

NHTSA complaint #10723529, filed 2015-06, 3,000 miles

“While the cruise is set and traveling on the interstate, in this case 70mph, when I pass an 18 wheeler the adaptive cruise control senses an imminent collision while passing the 18 wheeler in the left travel lane. The adaptive cruise immediately alerts and engages the brakes. Fortunately, this has not yet resulted in a rear end collision in my case however I'm sure at some point it will with owners of these vehicles. …”

NHTSA complaint #10743735, filed 2015-07, 1,000 miles

“Adaptive cuisse control falsely detects potential collision when passing semitruck (18-wheeler) on interstate/freeway highways as speed of 70mhp. The brakes are automatically applied and collision warning message goes off in the dashboard center screen. This happens very frequently when passing semitruck, to the point that I either disable the cruise or get ready to punch the accelerator in order to prevent a rear-end accident in case someone behind me.”

NHTSA complaint #10744915, filed 2015-07, 2,000 miles

“Adaptive cruise control was set and engaged on vehicle at 75 MPH. My vehicle was traveling on inside lane of four lane divided highway and came up on slightly slower vehicle traveling in the same lane at around 70 MPH. My vehicle slowed down and tracked the other vehicle for about a mile before coming up on a slower moving tractor trailer truck in the outside lane. As the vehicle in front on my truck passed the tractor trailer on the inside lane, it moved over in front of the tractor trailer to the outside lane to allow me to pass. …”

NHTSA complaint #10726963, filed 2015-06, 2,200 miles

“When passing a semi truck on the left (semi is to the right of me) using the adaptive cruise control function, the truck slammed on its brakes and said collision warning. Car behind me almost rear ended me. This happens intermittently like 6 times in 3 months and only happens when passing a large semi and the semi is to my right. Only happens in day time and even then, only sometimes happens.”
