Example complaints

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

“With meritor wabco onguard cruise control equipped from the factory. The cruise control unit often times slams on the brakes after erroneously detecting an imminent collision. It frequently hard brakes after detecting items that are well out of the travel path of the vehicle. This behavior is not predictable to either the driver or nearby vehicles, and will eventually lead to a crash or a dangerous shifted load. I have experienced this in 4 different Freightliner cascadias of recent vintage (2012 or newer), all equipped with the onguard cruise control system. …”
