Within days of having the vehicle, I noticed that when cruise control was on, it would sense things (people jogging, vehicles) next to me instead of in front of me, and would dramatically (and dangerously) engage the brakes. Now, the system is supposed to activate when it senses a vehicle IN FRONT OF it so that it can maintain a safe distance behind it. However, this happened when a person was jogging on the sidewalk next to me (and I promise that I was not driving on the sidewalk at this poor person), when a bus next to me slowed around a corner, and when two vehicles turned right in the right turn lane while I progressed in the right straight lane. I was almost rear ended on two of these occasions because of how abrupt the braking is. Moreover, when an animal ran out in front of me, the system did not activate and I nearly collided with it. It renders the system not only completely useless, but a huge danger and liability. When I took it to the dealership, they told me "this is normal" and that the system is "too sophisticated for its own good". I want people to understand that the party line has been that these vehicles are operating as intended, so that really makes me questions what these engineers intended and why these engineers are still being allowed to create these inferior-performing vehicles.
