“Driving south on a busy 4 lane divided city street, as I approaching an interestion I initiated a right had turn with about 1 car length gap in front of me. I was driving about 5 mph. The car suddently applied the brakes to a full stop. The car behind was able to stop in time and not hit me. There was no risk of me hitting the car in front of me.”
NHTSA complaint #11715747, filed 2026-02“Forward collision assist is dangerous. It engages when not necessary and has almost caused several wrecks by slamming on the brakes. There needs to be a way to permanently disable and not have to pick through a series of menus every time. Also, lately I feel like I’m fighting the lane keep assist when I’m on the highway, and it tries to move when not necessary.”
NHTSA complaint #11739419, filed 2026-05“The Forward Collision Assist system applies hard braking when there is no danger. This happened twice today at low speeds (1-2mph) Once in a drive through and once in traffic in a parking lot. Luckily, the truck behind me did not rear end me. My concern is what if it starts doing this at higher speeds? I feel it is dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11726101, filed 2026-03“There have been two instances now within about 4 months where my 2025 Hyundai Tucson's emergency braking/anti forward collision system has engaged completely unnecessarily, slamming on my brakes and almost causing the car behind me to hit me. In both cases there wasn't a car in front of me within at least 100 feet. In both cases I was going probably 30-40 miles per hour.”
NHTSA complaint #11738046, filed 2026-05“The FCA engages in situations that are not dangerous. There is a slamming of the breaks which causes items in the car to fly off the seat and nearly cause the cars behind me to rear end the car. This is a dangerous situation and has happened about 6 times since we purchased the car less than six months ago. There is not a way to permanently disable this supposed safety feature.”
