Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving an interstate freeway with my cruise on set to 75mph while passing a truck, both the truck and I were in are respective lanes and neither of us was straddling the lane divider. Suddenly the orange brake light came on the dash and the car braked hard without any input from me. The braking was so hard it pushed me forward twice and caused my seat belt to lockup.”
NHTSA complaint #11749864, filed 2026-07“At first they said I needed a new battery. Thats why all the sensors were going off. I got a new battery and the sensors keep going on and off intermittently. The sensors going off are; hillside, steering assist, brake, brake system, tpms, and collision. It will clear and work for a day or 2 and then come back.”
NHTSA complaint #11713130, filed 2026-01“I was driving when a car pulled into a driveway. My car was not near this car and the brakes stopped very hard. At other times when the brakes should have stopped they did not. I had a major accident in Feburary and my safety features were on however the car did not stop when the other car turned into front of me causing total damage, broken thumb and torn ligament in my right hand.”
NHTSA complaint #11662709, filed 2025-05“The issue involves the adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking systems. When engaged, the system intermittently and unexpectedly applies full braking force while I am changing lanes on the freeway, even when no vehicle is directly in front of my car. This has occurred multiple times at highway speeds, causing the car to slam on the brakes abruptly, which poses a serious safety risk particularly when other vehicles are following closely behind. …”
NHTSA complaint #11695110, filed 2025-10“While driving in Adaptive Cruise Control, a vehicle in the other lane was slowing down and turning right, but my car started applying the brakes for no reason. This has caused panic for me, since it was a 45 mph zone, and it was OK.”
