Date Component Summary Severity Mileage
Nov 2021 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE While on cruise control the car brakes aggressively with oncoming traffic and when passing large vehicles on the highway. No way to disable this feature to use a standard cruise control. This seems to be a problem mostly with large vehicles on the road.

Nov 2021 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE When using cruise control on normal two way traffic roads during the day or at night: the car will brake aggressively because of proper oncoming traffic from the other lane. The system has been very poorly designed such that it only works on wide separated highways and there is no way to switch off this feature. I have already had two near accidents where the vehicle behind me didn’t expect my car to slow down so quickly for no reason. This is extremely dangerous.
