Example complaints

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

“Proximity sensors generated an alert that parking assistance sensors needed cleaning during moderate rain cleaning the sensors did not resolve the issue. Stopped at dealer to have it checked and was advised that the sensor do that in inclement weather and I would need to learn to live with it. If it was just the parking sensors it would not be as significant but I did determine the front accident assistance did not function as it should have - as I approached a vehicle in front of me with cruise control the speed reduction that was supposed to occur did not happen. …”
