“Lane departure pulls the car unsafely when two lanes merge or one lane splits. It has caused us to swerve a few times leading to major safety concerns. It's locked by software we are forced to turn off manually every time we drive. Even when off it seems to pull me around on certain roads”

NHTSA complaint #11692534, filed 2025-10“Lane assist and warnings are horrible and can’t be permanently disabled because of your asinine regulations. I have had it try to force me into high way on ramp merge lanes and on unmarked backroads absolutely lose it’s mind and force me over to oncoming traffic because it doesn’t know where the shoulder is. In addition it is over sensitive and likes to blare annoying alarms and jerk my steering wheel when I am not even departing my lane. Thanks for over regulating yet another thing.”
