My FCW/Auto-brake settings are all set to minimum interference. In approaching a left turn (via green arrow) the car in front of mine abruptly stopped, and immediately moved again. I stopped, just as the system did. It however, held the brake for 2-3 seconds and I was almost rear-ended by the person behind me for not moving again with traffic. The following has happened at least 3 times: on a 2-lane curvy road the FCW has abruptly engaged the brake for an oncoming vehicle when we are both in our own lanes.

THIS IS A VERY THANKFUL COMPLIMENT, NOT A COMPLAINT. ON 20 FEBRUARY 2020, A 30-LB METAL DISK FLEW OFF A DRYWALL FLATBED TRUCK IN THE LANE LEFT OF ME AS WE TRAVELED TOGETHER AT 45 MPH ON A COLORADO SPRINGS MAIN STREET. THE DISK DIRECTLY HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE 2019 ACURA MDX SH WINDSHIELD AND SMALL SHARP GLASS SHARDS FLEW THROUGH THE CABIN. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE WINDSHIELD PLASTIC FILM, THE DISK WOULD HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE GLASS AND PROBABLY HIT ME IN THE HEAD KILLING ME (THE DISK HAD A LOT OF VELOCITY WHEN IT HIT WITH A VERY LOUD THUD ? NO TIME TO SWERVE). I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS PLASTIC FILM ? IT WAS DISTORTED, BUT NO HOLE THANKFULLY. COST TO REPAIR ABOUT $6,500, BUT I AM ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST ALL AUTOMOBILES SOLD IN THE US. JUST LEASED A NEW ONE, AND THIS SEATBELT PROBLEM PERSISTS. I AM SOOOO TIRED OF IT. WOMEN SHOULD HAVE SAFE SEATBELTS, TOO. WOMEN (50% OF POPULATION) SHOULD BE PROVIDED JUST AS SAFE SEATBELTS AS MEN (50% OF POPULATION) ' BUT WE ARE NOT. WE ARE OF SHORTER STATURE, SO CURRENT SEATBELTS COME ACROSS OUR BODY AT A HIGHER ANGLE AND THEREFORE CUT INTO THE SIDE OF THE NECK RATHER THAN THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOULDER. THE SEATBELT ADJUSTMENT NEEDS TO COME DOWN ON THE SIDE POST ANOTHER 2 INCHES TO MAKE IT SAFE ENOUGH FOR WOMEN (AT ALL ADJUSTABLE ATTACH POINTS). 1.OUR SEAT IS FARTHER FORWARD, SO WE CAN REACH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THIS CAUSES A SHARPER ANGLE WHICH MAKES THE SEATBELT CUT INTO OUR LEFT SIDE OF THE NECK INSTEAD OF ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOULDER. 2.WE SIT LOWER BECAUSE OF OUR SHORTER HEIGHT, CAUSING A SHARPER ANGLE WHICH THEN MAKES THE SEATBELT CUT INTO OUR NECK. WITH SHORTER LEGS, WE DON'T WANT OUR FEET TO DANGLE AND BECOME TIRED WHILE DRIVING. OUR SHORTER STATURE MAKES THE SEATBELT UNSAFE (AND UNFAIR). 1.THE ANNOYING CUT INTO OUR NECK MAKES US WANT TO PLACE THE SHOULDER HARNESS UNDER OUT ARM = EXTREMELY UNSAFE. 2.THE NECK PAIN DISTRACTS US FROM SAFE DRIVING INSTEAD OF HAVING FULL ATTENTION ON THE ROAD. 3.IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE MISPLACEMENT OF THE SEATBELT AGAINST OUR NECK MAKES INJURIES TO THE NECK MORE LIKELY. RECOMMEND YOU ADD MORE WOMEN DRIVERS TO YOUR AUTOMOBILE SAFETY STANDARDS COMMITTEE. WOMEN WITH THEIR SHORTER HEIGHT SHOULD HAVE JUST AS MUCH PROTECTION AS MEN.
