Example complaints

“The car has collision avoidance breaking but I noticed a time when a collision was not going to occur and the breaks were applied without me actually applying the breaks. I could have been rearended if there was a car behind be because there was no need to break. A car was a few hundred feet in front of me turning right at an intersection in my lane, and then I was traveling about 35mph and going straight through the intersection. …”
NHTSA complaint #10903899, filed 2016-09, 600 miles“Vehicle has adaptive cruise control to reduce speed by braking when other vehicles may be struck.

A second car has left the interstate and is slowing to stop before turning on a secondary road. My vehicle will brake regardless whether a third vehicle is cruising a highway speed behind me. Similarly if I am moving with traffic in the center lane and overtaking an 18 wheeler on the right moving 10+ miles slower. …”
NHTSA complaint #11073116, filed 2018-02, 15,500 miles“Intermittently, when I set the speed with cruise control, right after I do that, the truck will speed up and I have to tap the brakes to slow the truck down and then try to set it again. It usually works the second time I set it.”
