“While using adaptive cruise control on the highway, my car almost rear ended the car in front of me when it surged ahead around a slight curve in the road. I was travelling approximately 5mph below the set cruise speed due to the traffic ahead. It appears that my vehicle lost radar sight of the car in front and tried to get back up to the set speed. This has happened on multiple occasions now.”

“Our display/cluster, indicators, sensors, emergency lights stopped working in the middle of the ride. Major safety hazard on highway. Have to turn off the car and wait 30-60 mins for things to start working again. I know this has happened with others and to us before but in that case display stopped working the moment you turn on the car. Can't see the car speed, or any other things on display.”

“Each time, the digital instrument panel (where the gauges are displayed) goes almost entirely blank. It’ll restart after the car sits while off, but we’ve had to drive without the instrument panel telling us how fast we’re going and whether the turn signals are on or off. This has happened twice now. Twice I have had close calls with forward collision braking. The warning comes on but the automatic breaking does not occur.”

NHTSA complaint #11619091, filed 2024-10

“I recently had recall 24V693000 completed on my vehicle. After the recall while using the remote vehicle movement feature it no longer stops at all. While demonstrating the feature for a friend interested in purchasing a similar vehicle it did not stop and I had to move and release the remote to stop the vehicle. I have tested it again twice and the same problem occurs, the vehicle does not detect a pedestrian behind it and does not attempt to stop or stop.”
