“My vehicle is equipped with multiple safety systems offered by general motors.

NHTSA complaint #11695954, filed 2025-10

“I am reporting a serious safety issue involving unintended acceleration in my vehicle. The vehicle accelerates unexpectedly without driver input (specifically without pressing the “resume” function), requiring immediate braking to regain control. This issue has occurred numerous times over the past 4–5 months. Incidents have primarily happened at low speeds (approximately 20–25 mph or less), including while making turns, exiting parking lots, and once in our yard, where the vehicle nearly struck our home. …”

“The adaptive cruise control has twice unexpectedly applied the brakes with sufficient force to result in a minor whiplash situation of a sore neck. Both times were driving on a two-lane highway traveling between 65-70 mph (cruise control was set a 68 mph) with no vehicles in the lane in front of me. The adaptive cruise control appeared to interpret oncoming traffic as a vehicle in front of me and aggressively applied the brakes, rapidly dropping my speed from 68 mph to the 35 mph range. Brakes were applied with such force that my neck was sore for about two weeks after each incident. …”

The contact stated that while driving 75 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle decelerated to 10 MPH. In addition, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop independently. The contact’s upper body almost struck the front windshield. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that shortly afterwards, the vehicle resumed driving normally at 75 MPH; however, the failure reoccurred after a short distance. …”
