When I use the acc, and the highway is hilly, the acc will engage the FCM (forward collision mitigation), resulting in the brakes being applied, sometimes forcefully, resulting in an immediate slow down of my vehicles speed. This can cause accidents as those around me had to slam on their brakes as well. When going up and down hills, the acc does not work properly. This has occurred many times from the time I bought the vehicle until now.

After starting the car, and going in reverse, you can hear a cracking or clicking noise (it's really hard to tell), and sometimes it's really loud, if the brakes or something else was stuck and was about to break a part. It sounds on the read side and in the front side too. You can hear one or 3 clicks. I took my car to the dealer around 3 times in 5 months and first, I was told its normal, the second time I was pushy, and it was a matter of lubrication I wasn't told where exactly, and the last time the dealership manager told me that service department had to keep the car for a week, ( I got a loaner, but it has the same issue). The service department replaced the brake system, and rotors, inspect and lubricate all parts. But, I was told that they couldn't pin point the problem. The noise stopped, but I was told if it comes back, I had to take the car back to the dealer. After this incident, the next day in the morning while driving to work, my car stopped working, I couldn't break (I was driving at 27mph), the steering wheel got locked, I got all the alarms on, FCM, power steering problem, ABS problem, asc, acc not available. I got really affraid, luckily I had no cars around.

Stopped at a red light. Light turned green stepped on the gas, truck accelerated. Then began to feel like something wasn't normal, engine began to make quick high and low pitched sounds. Was only going 10mph if that. Tried to step on the brakes and pull over, but the brakes didn't respond. Then tried to step on the gas slightly to pull over, but the gas pedal also didn't respond. I was able to let the truck roll to a stop in the right turning lane, put it in park, and turn on the hazards. Then followed every possible service light came on. The engine never actually stalled. It was still running but not responsive to the brake or gas pedals. I attempted to 'reset' the car, as per the manual suggested. Turned it off for 5 minutes and then back on. The high and low pitch sounds continued, service lights remained lit, and vehicle was still unresponsive. Roadside assistance was then called and towed the truck to the dealership I leased from. Thankfully I wasn't going more than 10mph when my brakes failed and was able to roll to a stop, opposed to being on the highway going 60mph, as I was just 10 minutes before this occurred. The truck is not even 3 months old, with only 3,600 approx. Miles.
