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

This issue occurs when using adaptive cruise control if the vehicle encounters a panic stop situation and determines it is unable to autonomously stop in time. When the collision warning activates and the driver uses the brakes, the adaptive cruise control disengages the autonomous braking and braking is reduced until the brake pedal travels a significant amount. This increases the stopping distance and may cause an accident. …”
