Adaptive cruise control frequently fails to work as designed. Vehicle will frequently fail to detect vehicles (in all conditions, and all different types of vehicles) in front of it and not only fail to slow or stop, but instead accelerates. This has required manual braking multiple times to try and stop in time. Additionally the adaptive cruise fails to recognize cars in its lane and will randomly panic brake when there is no vehicle in the lane, it appears picking up a vehicle in the next lane over. This occurs on straight roads as well as curved, with flat as well as varied elevation. Lastly, vehicle threw 3 codes for transmission sensors as well as egr (U0402, U0402pd, and P1dd2) while casually driving. This caused the check engine light to come on as well as vehicle to go into limp mode. This caused a dangerous incident while trying to pass a vehicle. Vehicle is in shop for issue on 4/26.

The adaptive cruise control has been malfunction since I bought the car. It's been in the shop three or more times for it. 2 day ago I record on my iphone as the car started slowing down due to a stopped car ahead of me and then suddenly started speeding up while the car in from was still stopped due to a red light. I don't have pictures but I do have a small video. Please let me know if I can upload that somewhere for you to view. Also my radio reset to all the default station when I turn the car off. The dealer replace the sensor or camera that tracks the acc, but I'm still have the trouble. On the same day I was driving in my neighborhood and I set my acc to 35. I aimed the car towards a parked car, and the acc did not slow down the car, did not flash the brake alarm, or did anything. I had to swerve to avoid a swerve to avoid a collision. Again I have the videos.
