NHTSA Complaint #11103334 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

ISSUE 1: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MANY TIMES UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATES EVEN IF IT IS VERY CLEAR THE FRONT VEHICLE IS SLOWING DOWN CALMLY OR EVEN STOPPING; UNTIL IT IS TOO CLOSE THE CAR ITSELF ACTIVATES EMERGENCY AUTO BRAKING BUT FOR A SECOND ACCELERATION BEING STILL ON BEFORE IT DEACTIVATES (USUALLY ACC DOES THIS CALMLY AND SAFELY). IN SOME CASES I HAD TO DO EMERGENCY BRAKING SINCE IT MISSES THE DETECTION OF CAR INFRONT OF YOU; IT WILL BE ALSO VERY HARD TO DO AT A TIME IF CAR JUST STARTS TO DO VERY HIGH ACCELERATION. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT A STATIONARY VEHICLE IS DETECTED OR NOT DETECTED WITH 50/50 SUCCESS. THIRD ISSUE IS AUTOBRAKING , AS SEEN IN ISSUE 1, EVEN IN NORMAL DRIVING THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL BRAKE; I HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS TO HAVE EMERGENCY BRAKE MYSELF. FOURTH ISSUE: WHEN CAR STOPS AT A CERTAIN ANGLE DOWNHILL WHEELS PARTIALLY TURNED RIGHT. THEN IMMEDIATELY IF TRIES TO JOIN A MAIN ROAD TO THE RIGHT, BUT SLIGHTLY UPHILL, THE CAR STALLS FOR A 3-5 SEC, BEFORE IT ACCELERATES. THIS MAKES IT UNSAFE IF THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND JOINING THE ROAD. THE DATES ARE MULTIPLE SO I WILL PUT THE LAST INCIDENT DATE HERE. *TT *TR
