This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Upon returning home after a short drive I pulled into my garage and almost drove through the wall-?? I purchased parking assistance and it was not provided. The feature apparently failed and turned off at some point without clearly notifying the driver. I don-??t know if it provided a silent notice that automatically dismissed but it certainly did not notify me when I really needed it-?? low speed. The park assist light is indeed off now when the vehicle starts. Clicking the button reports -??Park Assist Off-?? even though it already appears off and is certainly not providing the intended safety feature. Clicking the button again does not turn the light back on but if clicked again it will again report it was disabled. This is strange and confusing for the driver. Using the infotainment screen one can toggle -??Park Assist-?? off and the drivers info screen by the speedometer will finally say -??park assist off-??. Turning the feature back on in the infotainment screen actually turns the park assist button back on for about 5 seconds then it silently turns off and the driver is NOT warned that the system is not working. The driver is not properly warned of feature failure even though it appears the software knows it is not working. The little button goes out but the driver message screen does not warn the driver. This failure and poor awareness is a safety risk. Yes, we are unlikely to be parking super close to someone but we might indeed park near a GAS hot water heater or similar hazard in work trucks. The driver must know if safety features failure during driving. Otherwise they are potentially more hazardous than vehicles without them. Drivers will by design rely on these features and MUST be warned if the vehicle knows they have failed. I don-??t love that the vehicle has already had a failure with only 1695 miles but this dangerous software concerns me more.
