| Description of the problem | Adaptive cruise control braking issue. My new 2016 ford f150 platinum edition pick up truck will automatically brake hard when passing some large trucks while operating in adaptive cruise control. The lane ahead of me was clear with no vehicles in sight in my lane each time this happened. The large trucks i passed were on my right and not in my lane or even close to the lane markers. The large trucks did not have anything hanging over into my lane. These dangerous braking events happened while i was driving on very good dry highways and freeways in arizona. I have no stickers or after market items on my new f150 truck. This hard automatic braking happened to me on four different occasions during the month of march. In each of the four braking events i was traveling between 65 and 75 mph on straight high quality roads in arizona. I was almost rear-ended the last time it happened so i'm no longer using cruise control. As of today 4/8 my truck is at the morgan hill ford store in morgan hill calif for inspection of this dangerous problem. |
