Automatic Emergency Braking problem #1

I always use cruise control whenever I drive because this would always makes me put on a safety automatic brake whenever I get close to the car next to me. But it seems like my automatic emergency brake is defective which Lexus dealership denies on the inspection when I complain. A lot of times the automatic emergency brake does not work when I use it even when im backing up it suppose to stop but a lot of times im almost at thr brink of hitting something so I have to manually brake. I also texted this to my Lexus assistant manager in Lexus glendale California branch and had it inspected by them but they’ve sit my car in the dealership and at the end of the day told me that its normal. Is it normal to hit a car next to you when youre expecting your car to stop automatically and it does not stop? why do I have this feature and it doesnt work? I hope you can help me becaus ethis car is very expensive and yet it does not guarantee safety!.

Adaptive Cruise Control problem #2

The safety features on my Lexus ES 350 2020 malfunctioned on 10/16/2022 •cruise control with radar functionality to speed up, slow down or stop, based upon my speed setting did not work at that moment. It did work my entire trip, which was a drive to tallahassee from our residence on Friday and our return trip home on Sunday, until the accident occurred just north of the ft. Pierce exit. •the brake sensor, which causes your vehicle to stop with obstructions near the vehicle did not function. •airbags did not deploy •seatbelts did not “lock” at impact. When I realized that the safety features (radar and brake sensor) were not working, I slammed on the brakes, but nothing happened.
