Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Crash reported1 injury reported
I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND DROVE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 20 MPH. THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AHEAD AND I APPLIED MY BREAKS. INSTEAD OF STOPPING, MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID SPED UP. I PUSHED HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL, TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR SPED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND SLAMMED INTO ANOTHER CAR. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE INSURANCE AGENT AND THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED AT THE BODY SHOP. THE DODGE DEALER SAID THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE WAS BROKEN AS A RESULT OF MY ACCIDENT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OR WHY THE CAR DID NOT STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEN FIRMLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE ONLY WAY I GOT THE CAR TO STOP WAS TO TURN OFF THE KEY. *LA
