Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On occasion, while at hwy speeds with no cars in front of me my car will suddenly start braking. This worries me that people following to closely might not be expecting my car to brake as their us no immediate traffic in front. Also, the lane assist frequently fights me when I am within my lane. It appears that concrete scratches or marks in the road sometimes confuse it.”
