NHTSA complaint #11658794, filed 2025-05“While driving the pre-collision system (PCS) turns on unexpectedly, without any warning lights or sounds, and applies the brakes. This happens when I am driving in traffic with plenty of space between the car in front of me.

This can be verified for inspection upon request. …”
