Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my 2018 Yukon denali on a 3 lane interstate with GM's new adaptive cruise control turned on.. Another driver cut in front of me from the right. Adaptive cruise slammed on the brakes almost causing a rear-end accident by overcompensating. This happened more than once on a 2000 mile trip in different traffic conditions. In contacting my dealer, they called GM and were told it could not be fixed because of extensive supposed changes to the vehicle. However, other GM vehicles have a shutoff that would eliminate adaptive cruise and let you normally operate cruise control. …”
