“Loss of dynamic radar-controlled cruise control: clean sensor, once on city street, then I stopped and restarted the vehicle, it cleared itself, then a few minutes down the road stopped at a stop sign. It came back on. I checked my VIN# and my truck is not listed for the same recall that I have seen others get.”
NHTSA complaint #11157224, filed 2018-12, 6,200 miles“The pcs pre-collision system shuts off all the time! When cruise control is on and is supposed to slow down by itself when there's another car in front of you actually accelerates my vehicle that can create a severe accident by crashing into the vehicle in front of me! The system is designed on the radar base system that is supposed to slow down the vehicle to avoid an accident and it actually speeds it up which can cause a fatality!”
NHTSA complaint #11080802, filed 2018-03, 700 miles“The avoidance collision radar can be intermittent. Sometime, it detects the vehicle in front of me, then stop working and my truck will accelerate towards the vehicle in front of me. At other time, the warning light will come on, saying the sensor needs to be cleaned, even though the windshield is spotless and drop my truck out of cruise control, causing a quick de-acceleration. I was in front of a semi-truck going at highway speed when this happened and the semi-truck came close to hitting me in the rear end. …”
NHTSA complaint #11141691, filed 2018-10, 12,000 miles“Multiple events. 2500 miles on vehicle. While driving 70mph in cruise control the pre-collision warning came on and vehicle applied brakes forcefully without any vehicle ahead of my vehicle until I turned off cruise control. After the event the traler brake malfunction statement and warning lights were on. Pre -collision failure light reset after key cycled off and back on. Failure occurred multiple times in multiple driving conditions, currently trailer brake failure light is illuminated. Each time I had to exit or pull over and stop vehicle, cycle key to have warning clear.”
NHTSA complaint #11074699, filed 2018-02, 2,500 miles“Vehicle was diagnosed with having a left rear speed sensor and speed sensor wire was broken due to a piece of plastic part came separated from the wheel. Have all kinds of lights come on dashboard and flash on and off, until sensor is replaced with new at an astronomical rate, which cannot be replaced at this time. …”
