  FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

  I'm reporting significant safety issues. All are related as they indicate that the error rejection for the sensors are not properly calibrated. These false positive errors are dangerous. It affects the automatic emergency braking, forward collision, blind spot, and cross traffic warning systems. 1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The sensor responsible for detecting road impediments and cross-traffic/blindspots. I'm not sure how to provide it for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? YES - when safety systems frequently have false positive indicators (auditory and visual). This has caused the car and driver to respond to a threat that is not real. This can also cause ignoring true positive indicators (alarm fatigue) and uncertainty of the systems ability to respond to true negative events. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, but they are incompetent. I was told the issues might be: bugs on the sensor, maybe a plastic bag floated by the car, maybe the road was shiny, maybe there was something and I didn't see it. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not to my knowledge. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, this is a brand new vehicle (2023) and we are the only drivers. These issues have been happening since we started the lease. The cross/blind spot false positive happen daily. The braking/front end collision have only happened ~4 times.

  VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES

  It happened twice already when I step on the break pedal the car goes accelerated feels like you step on the gas pedal that is the problem the first incident I stopped and parked next to the gate because I need to put the code of the gate to open then when I come back to my car and step on the break to release the transmission from P parking 🅿️ then the car goes accelerate too fast almost hit the gate good thing I release the break pedal then hit again or step again the break pedal. The second time I was with my wife she’s parking backward then the car goes accelerated backward. She just stepped on the break pedal. And if we’re driving in the freeway if we break it didn’t stop right away it will still slide for how many meters

  SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

  I was driving my car on the highway. The car automatically deployed the emergency braking system with no objects in front of the car. The car automatically braked then flashed the brake warning indicator. Car mad itself come to a complete stop. I began researching and found that others have had issues with “phantom braking” when the car has collision avoidance technology. This needs to be seriously investigated as it is a safety hazard.
