 Description of the problemThe problem is with the dynamic radar cruise control (drcc). It applies the brakes for no apparent reason. Below are descriptions of 5 of about 20 such incidents: -on i-40. I was behind a truck moving 62 in a 70 zone. There was a truck in the left lane about 200 yards ahead. I moved to the left lane. There was no one behind me in either lane. Drcc quickly slowed me to 40 mph. -again on i-40, in right lane behind a truck going about 62 in a 70 zone. The truck 20 yards behind me moved left and accelerated. Brakes automatically applied by drcc. -on i-8, right lane following a vehicle 10 mph below the speed limit. A car was closely following me. Upon reaching an exit ramp, he exited and quickly accelerated. The brakes were strongly applied. -entering freeway; light traffic, drcc set at 75. The entrance ramp came in from above the freeway and approached the freeway at a fairly sharp angle. There was a metal guard rail to the left of the left lane. Entering travel lane, still aimed at the guard rail, brakes sharply applied. -construction zone on i-80, . Speed limit 55 in the construction zone and 70 beyond it. Fairly heavy traffic was narrowed to one lane in the zone with orange barrels on the right and jersey barriers on the left. The nearest vehicle ahead of me was 100-200 yards ahead, but behind was a semi about 20 feet away. Changed set speed from 60 to 70 approaching end of construction.. I was probably 20-30 yards from the end of the construction when i adjusted the speed.. Just as i reached the end of the zone and was beginning to accelerate, the brakes were strongly applied. The semi veered to miss me. My guess is that if the drcc is confused by the situation it is programmed to apply the brakes. A far more appropriate, and safer, response would be to emit a warning beep(s) and disable the cruise control.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
  • What is Defect?

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
