Renegadebuck Posted Sunday at 01:36 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:36 AM I was alone (well for about 1/4 mile front and back) with the cruise on at about 50 mph on a 4 lane road in the slow lane and the car suddenly stood on it’s nose and then turned hard left. I was lucky to be alone as I would have taken out anyone trying to pass. Anyone else had this happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted Monday at 08:54 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:54 PM I have turned off all of the STUPID DRIVER assists. They are not ready for prime time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted Tuesday at 01:43 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:43 AM It seems like automatic emergency brakes were applied, and the steering wheel got pushed to the left. Evasive steering assist applied additional steering torque to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will2U Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM Yeah, it sounds like the car thought something was in the path. I had someone start to pull into my lane (would have creamed the passenger side) and I didn't see them. Evasive steering applied brakes and moved me to the left. Saved me from being hit. Perhaps there was something that the sensors picked up. I always make sure my sensors are clean because I value the evasive steering feature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted Tuesday at 03:42 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:42 PM I haven't had evasive steering assist triggered, but I have had the pre-collision warning and brake pressure reload happen quite a few (50?) times. Usually for good reason, and a few times due to semi trailers next to me on curvy roads, and once or twice with only things like signs or bushes far along side the road. But since it is just a warning and pre pressurizing the brakes (I braked once after it went off and they are primed and ready) and not any active assist, I just understand what is happening when it happens. Adaptive Cruise is so nice. I accidentally disabled lane keeping and lane centering my last 350 mile trip, and didn't really know until I looked at the display and it wasn't the steering wheel and it wasn't the green arrows on dotted lines. It does help with fatigue, I turned it back on for the return trip. I don't expect it to drive for me, and I still steer and position myself in the lane where I want, but for the small lapse in focus and it keeping you where you should be, it is nice. I used to drive with my knees while eating a taco with my head tilted, I think I did a better job than the lane centering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted Tuesday at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:44 PM (edited) Sounds like something set it off. Since you have a 22 and it is a safety/liability issue, take it in and tell them your story. Could it have been something you didn't see? like an animal or obstacle in the road? Or maybe a bad sensor. Maybe there will be a code stored in the ECU. It may not be perfect but one day it could save your life for sure. I have my pre collision warning set to the highest setting, and it has saved me on more than one occasion. Luckily, I reacted before the Evasive Assist took action.
