Consumer Description
My adaptive cruise control system still malfunctions and slams on the brakes automatically because it thinks it sees a vehicle in front that I am about to collide with. This only happens when I am passing large vehicles (semis, fuel semis, etc.) to my right when driving on highways. And it does not happen all the time (maybe 10-20% of the time I pass a semi on my right). But, when it does brake it scares me and then I have to press the gas hard so the person behind me doesn't rear end me. This is part of an issue I reported previously in 2015, where my truck would slam on brakes when passing large semis and also when passing under bridges at certain times. A recall was issues for this, which took care of the braking when passing under bridges, but did not completely fix the issue when passing large vehicles. I followed up with NHTSA again in late 2015 and 2016 that the problem is still happening. I will upload the emails below as attachments.
