On 9/1/26 I was traveling in the left most lane, southbound on the NJ Parkway around mile marker 82.7 (or wherever that Maintenance Yard is, I believe District 3) and I had the Blue Cruise feature active. There was a curve in the road which the vehicle was following, but while it was following the curve it started to veer into the lane to the right of me and almost collided with another vehicle before I took control of the wheel and got it back into the lane. This in itself was concerning, but I didnt report it. Today, 9/3, I was on the Parkway again and decided to see if I could replicate this behavior. As I approached the same spot, with Blue Cruise active, and keeping my hands on the wheel, I noticed there was a white paint spill that came from the maintenance yard and into that leftmost lane of the parkway, it curves through the left lane and almost into the next. I continued driving in the left lane and as I approached that paint spill and could feel the steering wheel wanting to follow the paint line, instead of the highway lines. I maintained control of the vehicle and kept it in the lane, but I think this confirms the paint is causing a problem with the vehicles sensors which it cannot compensate for. I understand Blue Cruise is not perfect and can make mistakes, and maybe this is an edge case, but still feel it warrants reporting in case others have experienced the same. Additionally, a paint spill like this should be removed from the parkway as soon as possible.
