Consumer Description

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE SLAMS ON THE BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING VEHICLES AHEAD AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME THEN HAS TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SO FAR I HAVE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE SYSTEM IS VERY JERKY, SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN WHEN FOLLOWING A VEHICLE AHEAD. IT WILL SPEED UP BY 2-3 MPH AND THEN SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP AGAIN. I HAVE MADE SURE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR TO ALLOW FOR THE CAMERA TO SEE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD A PREVIOUS FORD MOTOR VEHICLE AND THEIR ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED WONDERFULLY.
