Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A big warning comes on my dash board saying brakes and automatically stops while driving on the highway. This happened twice. It is scarey because there is no reason I need to brake nor can I control that the car is force braking it self. I have read 2 other complaints about this issue and both have ended in crashing the vehicle due to the computer force braking itself in the SUV.”
NHTSA complaint #11395091, filed 2021-02, 91,335 miles“Forward collision warning system with brake mitigation continues to engage intermittently on its own. This is not to be taken lightly. The forward collision warning with brake mitigation engages intermittently, out of the blue, when there is no need. Meaning; I'll be driving along . . . No cars or objects in front of me, and all of a sudden the system slams on the brakes, jerks very abruptly, audible bells go off and the screen illuminates brake brake brake! …”
NHTSA complaint #10917387, filed 2016-10, 6,493 miles“It was freezing outside, but not icy on the road. Well lit. I was not in a rush. Car was in excellent shape up until then. I was going ~10 pmh down the inside parking garage driveway. Had to pull to the right due to car coming up partially on my side. Scratched the side wall. Once that happened, the car accelerated out of control. Brakes didn't react. Only way to stop the car before running into other cars or even people was steering the car into the wall front on. The car finally stopped, the wall broke down. The airbags didn't go off, the brake assistance system didn't kick in. …”
NHTSA complaint #11399605, filed 2021-03, 52,000 miles“ACC automatically canceled without braking causing car to either slow down immediately or speed up unsafely, slippery road light turns on, on dash while driving straight, lunging of the car that feels like tires are spinning and or hesitation.”
NHTSA complaint #11744790, filed 2026-06, 61,264 miles“Vehicle's forward collision warning (fcw) system activated a brake! Alert with no hazard present.
