Your steering wheel should not vibrate. Usually indicates a front brake issue.
I've used adaptive cruise on the highway in my new CX-5 for several weeks.
In the past few days I've twice had an issue when traffic ahead slows or stops quickly (but not locking wheels). My car approaches too quickly, brake alert sounds, and uses anti-lock braking to stop the car. This nearly caused an accident the first time because the car behind wasn't expecting me to lock wheels.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
Scary.
It this occurring on a straight road where the traffic is in line infront of you (uhm)
Not exactly what you notice but not sure I am going to use mine in heavy traffic conditions. I used it on the belt parkway in NY and found it was jamming on the brakes too hard when cars slowed in front and the person behind me did not expect me to slow as much and almost ran into me.
Yes, straight road on a clear day. And with MRCC set to maximum distance.
AFAIK it's not designed for use during heavy traffic conditions. More so on freeways/highways/motorways where the traffic is spread out and at consistent higher speeds.
Without MRCC, when I see traffic slowed up ahead I slow down well in advance. MRCC does not do this.
I'm surprised that an automated system would have the car get too close to the car ahead then hit the brakes, set off the BRAKE! alarm and anti-lock brakes.
