Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Adaptive cruise control repeatedly misreads large trucks or trailers in adjacent lanes as being directly ahead, especially on curves.
- The system applies sudden, hard braking when passing semis or box trucks, even though the vehicle ahead is in a different lane.
- Owners describe near rear-end collisions because following drivers do not expect the abrupt slowdown triggered by these false detections.
- Some drivers report the false braking is worse when road curvature bends toward the truck's lane or when shadows are cast in front of the car.
- Blind spot monitoring is reported to flag vehicles that are not actually present in the blind spot.
- One owner reported the vehicle suddenly accelerated at low speed while ADAS features were active, resulting in a collision with a tree.
