| Description of the problem | While driving at 70 mph on the highway with adaptive cruise control operational, the vehicle failed to respond on 3 different occasions to the sudden and unexpected presence of a vehicle that unsafely moved into my traffic lane just feet ahead of my vehicle. Instead of my vehicle backing off, my vehicle was moving closer and closer to the car ahead and i had to apply the brakes in order to avoid crashing into the vehicle in front of us. It was as if the adaptive cruise control system was unable to "see" situations when confronted with vehicles that suddenly appear in front of my vehicle and are extremely close. In all other respects, that adaptive speed control system worked perfectly. |
