Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front collision warning sounds when leaving parking lots with small dip where the road meets the exit. 25% of the time my emergency brakes activate stopping the car when I want to exit. The car thinks the road is an obstacle because of the dip. This happen often and in different parking lots. Very dangerous since you're entering a road way and could cause an accident.”
