Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just bought this car used, in march 2019. It started shortly after buying it and continues to happened. . Repeatedly , while city and highway driving, a warning comes on 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction' and the cruise control is deactivated. I took it back to the dealer and they said this was normal. Its not normal.”
NHTSA complaint #11219126, filed 2019-06, 24,000 miles“The distance sensor, located below the front bumper, failed. This distance sensor is integral to the crash avoidance system. The sensor , along with the cruise control, maintains a safe distance between my car and the car directly ahead of me. When this sensor failed, I had no cruise control and the concept of keeping a safe distance ahead of me disappeared. This sensor failed driving down a busy interstate highway.”
NHTSA complaint #11244234, filed 2019-08, 52,000 miles“Car hesitation. I find that after I am stopped at a red light and then I pull out to the middle of the intersection when the light changes (stopping again waiting for oncoming traffic), the gas pedal does nothing when I try to make the turn. I have to release the pedal and push it again, usually in a hurry so I don't get hit by oncoming cars. The problem is not consistent. Pretty scary when you expect the car to move and it does not. So it appears that the problem becomes evident when I make a small movement, stop and then go again.”
NHTSA complaint #10864093, filed 2016-05, 12,000 miles“Three times in two weeks I had cruise set at 49mph and set intelligent cruise control range to three car lengths ahead of me. All three times the vehicle that was at lease 6-7 car lengths ahead had made a right turn and was out of my lane when suddenly the cruise shuts down and the auto brakes are activated hard enough to lurch me forward in my seat, the third time I almost got rear ended. Took to the dealer who of course couldn't duplicate the issue and was told not to use cruise control around town!!! I have document ion indicating time and dates of occurrences..”
NHTSA complaint #10864633, filed 2016-05, 235 miles“Adaptive cruise control and forward emergency braking (feb) system becomes spontaneously disabled during driving. This poses a serious issue when actually driving the car. The car is in motion when this happens. The system can only be reset by stopping the car, turning off the ignition and then re-starting the engine.”
