Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When we are stopped at a traffic light the forward collision avoidance alarm beeps/chirps a warning. Our vehicle is stopped, not moving at all. The car in front of us, or next to us is also stopped, not moving. Out of nowhere, the collision avoidance light beeps causing us to be concerned that we might get into a collision. It typically happens when the car in front of us is a tesla, mercedes or other high end car, but also occurs when the car in front of us is not a typical high end brand. This safety concern happens randomly, not everytime we are stopped at a traffic light. …”
