FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
4 Reports9% of totalPreviewing the first 2 complaint summaries.
I was turning left at an intersection on 5/5/23 and the brakes locked up for no reason. As I entered the intersection the vehicle flashed the automatic emergency braking lights and locked up the brakes as I turned left. The lane in front of me was perfectly clear and the sudden stop fortunately didn't cause the vehicle behind me to rear end me. My wife and I were totally shocked and confused why this happened when there was clearly no obstruction ahead of us or reason to lockup the brakes. This is an absolute flaw and could have caused an accident and/or injury. This ADAS system is very sensitive in my opinion and constantly goes off on parked cars when driving in my subdivision. This I guess is unavoidable but the incident that happened is not explainable or acceptable!

Since Iâve got the vehicle i experienced issues with it not going in drive or reverse sporadically. I was air to obtain this in video and show it to the dealer for the first time Dec 2023. In addition and overtime itâs seems this issue may go hand and hand with the lane assist issue that had been known on Chevy models where they either donât work of they donât recognize the lanes correctly and they pull although your in the correct lane.i have specifically taken the car in on 3 or more occasions about it disengaging and not driving forward or backwards. More recently it started to seem as if while u was actually driving the car did not want to accelerate forward and then while trying to accelerate the steering wheel pulled and caused the car to spin out of control on the freeway. The car was just in the shop from End of April till May and the issues are unable to be duplicated so I just keep getting pushed off with the car. The car radio constantly malfunctions and glitches i several different forms, black screen no sound or not allow Bluetooth capabilities. My most main concern is this power train issue and me getting stuck with a car that is going to be it of warranty and the issue has never been resolved even though I have showed the dealership a live video of the occurring issue that there is something wrong here.
