This vehicle was reversing, detected an obstacle and instead of stopping, it accelerated uncontrollably and then caused me to travelthrough the front yard of my house. Even though the reverse automatic braking system detected the object the vehicle continued to accelerate. I then put the vehicle in drive and controlled the vehicle so it wouldn't hit anyone on the street or my house. This did cause a collision in my front yard with a gas lamp post and almost caused me to hit my house. This vehicle has the rab detecting system that failed and caused damage to the vehicle.
When driving below 5 mph—forward or reverse—with the rear passenger door fully open, the only alert is a small “door ajar” icon on the dash. This icon is the same drawing, whether the door is completely open or semi-latched, so the driver has no way to know the extent of the hazard. Without an additional warning, an fully open door can strike pedestrians, poles, garage, or other vehicles, and any passenger seated beside it is needlessly exposed to injury.
