“This morning, I stopped to open the gates at work, car was idling. When I got back into the car, put it in drive and started to slowly move forward the FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM slammed on my brakes and lights flashing on my dash. I backed up...there was absolutely nothing in my way. This has happened numerous times, different places and while turning a corner at a very slow speed. Never nothing in the way. Will definitely be taking it in to have it checked now.”
“I entered my vehicle started like normal was heading home when I got in the highway while gaining speed to get on the highway I hit about 60-65mph when my entire car went black my odometer screen went black my entertainment system went black all lights shut off and my car was just rolling I immediately tried to get off the highway and take a video when I got off the roadway everything came back on”
“Auto hold was on, radar cruise control was set and as I was merging in traffic a sharp smell of burning started. The cruise control refused to disengage until I parked the car in garage. Eventually burn smell ended but seems like brake was stuck while acceleration causing a burn smell. It seems like brake could get stuck to wheels perhaps when auto hold is on even when driving? Auto break hold is a feature which keeps the break on while car is stopped.”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
