“As per the technical specifications, The VF8 car must adhere collision safety features. But actually when we drive the car on freeways, State highways, and internal roads, these safely features never worked for me. Kindly refer the attached technical feature documents so called supported features by the manufacturer.”

NHTSA complaint #11589132, filed 2024-05

“I was driving on the highway 87 California from the south to the north. After I changed to the furthest left lane and stay within the lane completely. I started to turn on ADAS system, as I was adjusting the desired speed, I felt the car was speeding up too much to reach my speed set up, so I decided to step on the brake to slow down the car. Right when I step on the brake, I heard a loud noise from the car, which I strongly believe the car was experiencing the conflicting command within its software. …”

“The lane assist feature repeatedly comes on randomly and has almost caused several accidents while I was driving. Specifically, I was driving on the freeway today in moderate traffic and the emergency lane assist warning flashes on and the car begins to jerk the steering wheel. It caused me to try to correct this and almost caused my hitting the car next to me. There are warning lights that repeatedly just come on without there actually being an issue. The roll back feature works randomly and has almost caused me to hit the car behind me. …”

“1) Forward collision detection doesn't work. Very rarely screen shows a pop up, but never applies automatic brakes. Especially when we were in traffic and if vehicle infrant suddenly stops. ..then it doesn't detect the forward stopped objects and fail to apply breaks 2) we need to push break paddle hard to stop the vehicle completely when car is below 10Mil/hrs speed . It feels like at lower speeds break paddle doesn't work. 3) The lane keeping assistant never worked. 4) Sometimes a car drags to one side of the traffic even when it is going at a speed of 25Mph.”

“When in heavy fog, rain, direct light to cameras or sensor the safety features become unavailable. As soon as any of the above goes away they come back. This in my opinion becomes more of a risk driving these vehicles if the safety systems do not function properly.”
