“on the freeway and along side another car and emergency breaking activation warning. Happened 2 times in a month. Car swerved but I was able to control it. I was doing about 65 mph in each case.”

NHTSA complaint #11589599, filed 2024-05

“While operating the vehicle, the cruise control turns off without any warning. The warning messages that come up only after the cruise control is turned off by the vehicle state Smart cruise conditions not met and forward safety system disabled. Radar blocked . This disables the vehicle from utilizing cruise control in any manner. This happened on the highway with the cruise set at 72 mph, with a semi truck right behind my vehicle in moderate traffic! The semi slammed brakes on and after initial shock, I was able to accelerate the vehicle somewhat to avoid a collision. …”
