Example complaints
Seat belts: “When driving on a quiet, straight road with no other cars anywhere nearby the vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes until the car came to a complete stop. The seat belt pre-tensioners also activated and there were loud audible warning beeping and red radar images on the dashboard. My safety was not at risk in this instance however if the same thing happened while I was being followed then I'd be a risk from being hit from behind. I frequently travel on busy interstates and it scares me to think that this could happen again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11645260, filed 2025-02Forward collision avoidance: “In the past 1 year, my car has had about 6-7 incidents where the car abruptly breaks and seatbelts tighten. This has been at speeds of 30- 40mph more or less. NOTE: There was NO reason for the hard breaking as there were NO cars and NO pedestrians in sight. Most recently, I was almost rear ended by the car behind me - thankfully they swerved into the swale/shoulder. I have also had a few incidents while driving on I-75 at 70mph where the car quickly slows to 30mph. It seems the car may have interpreted a nearby exit. …”
