On Saturday [xxx] I was travelling on [xxx] from orangeburg to atlanta. I did was not using cruise control but the system was enabled. Enabling the cruise control system on my automatically enabled the lkas(lane keep assist) feature on my car. On at least two other occasions, specifically going around corners at low speed, I've had the lkas system grab the wheel and steer the car aggressively to the left. On these prior occasions we were travelling at low speed and the road conditions were questionable as in striping of the roads were not clear. On [xxx], the road conditions were optimal minus being a little wet due to rain. The lkas unexpectedly turned the wheel hard to the left going around a corner at 55mph and into oncoming traffic. Before I could regain control of the vehicle it veered into a ditch, across a culvert and landed in the ditch on the other side of a driveway. If not for sheer luck both I and the oncoming driver would be dead and the car destroyed. I am taking the car to a dealer tomorrow to have them inspect the lkas. There were no warning lamps, message or any other alerts prior to the lkas taking over the steering. Upon coming to a rest and recovering, I inspected the vehicle and found no damage save a deflating front tire and was able to drive the car back to atlanta. I do not have dashcam footage of the other occurrence of the lkas malfunctioning but I did have a dashcam in the car and running when this latest incident occurred and if possible I will attach it to this complaint. Prior to submitting this complaint and contacting a dealership to have the car inspected I did put in my VIN and research if there had been any recalls on the lkas system in my model year vehicle. I can confirm that there were not but there had been recalls for earlier versions of the same vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Front camera not working triggered multiple warning lights on.
Forward looking camera failed at 62k miles, it won't communicate with the computer according to dealership diagnosis on 11-18-2022. Replacement cameras are on backorder, with no availability date. Vehicle is available for inspection. The issue directly affects forward collision, lane departure and cruise control. It no longer warns me if approaching something too quickly. It no longer tells me if I drift into another lane or corrects it. Cruise control stopped working as well. Distracting lights and beeping when driving, says windshield needs to be cleaned on instrument cluster. Issue began in mid 2022. According to my research, failing cameras seem to be an issue. Replacement camera is approx $1500, plus the labor to install and align.
Engine light on stating: lean code, all wheel drive systems problem, emmision system problem. The vehicle was moving when it came on.
