Example complaints

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

“While driving on I-40 East between Raleigh, NC and Benson, NC I was trying to use the Blue Cruise self driving feature on my Mache. The system is frightening to me because it tends to default towards the marker between lanes and requires more attention than so called hands free driving is supposed to need. However, in this situation, there was a stretch of the highway where the lane markers were half white and then half black stripes. …”

“I am randomly receiving the errors: Front Camera Fault Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Also, my cruise control no longer works while this error is active. Error will clear itself after a few minutes, but will still pop up from time to time.”

NHTSA complaint #11501612, filed 2023-01

“I had put the vehicle into One Pedal Drive mode for the first time on the morning of Aug 29th. Vehicle operated as it should for first few places I drove to and stopped, but then I approached a red light, removed foot slowly from accelerator and vehicle came to a full stop as it should. Approximately 2-5 seconds later, without warning or even the collision avoidance system activating, my vehicle suddenly accelerated into the rear of the stopped truck in front of me. Fortunately no serious injuries but someone could have been killed. …”

“On at least 8 occasions the car unintentionally shifted into cruise control and accelerated immediately. This usually happened while driving under 30 mph and rapidly accelerated to a much higher speed, sometimes set as high as 70 mph. On 3 occasions this happened in a parking lot and 2 occasions in a bank drive thru with a vehicle only a few feet in front of me. Immediate emergency braking was required to avoid an accident with two very close calls within 1-3 feet of vehicle in front of me. …”

“was driving my 2022 Mustang Mach-E in One-Pedal Whisper mode on. I always drive in that mode because it has a great feature where as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator the car slows down significantly. I feel safer in this mode especially in high traffic or on the freeway. I was very slowly turning into a parking spot in a private parking lot, stepped on brake to put car into Park when the car lurched forward without me touching anything, I had no control of my car no matter how hard I pressed on the brake. My car was driving itself!! …”
