Example complaints

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

“Intermittently, when driving in light to moderate precipitation (rain or snow), the adaptive cruise control will not sense a car in front of it yet it will not default to off/adaptive cruise not available . If my cruise control is set at a speed greater than the car in front, mine will continue to close the gap until a crash is imminent and I manually have to disengage by pressing the brake or turning the cruise control off. This has now occurred 6 times. The dealer suggested changing the module behind the sensor ($1,200) but, could not assure that this was the problem.”
