This issue relates to the overactivation of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system and related sensors, including wheel speed sensors, yaw rate sensors, and forward-facing cameras.  Over the past two years, I\u2019ve conducted extensive personal testing and analysis across multiple vehicles and brands. My findings indicate that many vehicles using modern ESC systems\u2014likely built on common software frameworks from Tier 1 suppliers (Bosch, Continental, ZF, WABCO, Autoliv, etc.)\u2014are exhibiting the following unsafe behaviors: \u2022Overcorrection of minor road imperfections, such as slight pavement grooves or drainage lines. \u2022Harsh braking or acceleration of individual wheels at highway speeds, triggered by incorrect interpretations of road angle or yaw. \u2022Resulting symptoms include vibration, wobble, instability, and \u201cbouncy\u201d rides, which compromise vehicle control and driver confidence. \u2022In some cases, fuel economy is also impacted, due to unnecessary braking and acceleration by the system.  When I disconnected the four wheel speed sensors and the front-facing camera in a 2023 vehicle, the vehicle\u2019s ride quality and directional stability improved significantly. This suggests that the ESC software is misinterpreting normal driving conditions as loss-of-control events and is applying interventions that reduce safety rather than improve it.  I believe this is a systemic safety defect, potentially affecting millions of vehicles using similar ESC software logic. If left unaddressed, this could result in increased accident risk\u2014especially at freeway speeds\u2014and consumer mistrust in vehicle safety systems.  I respectfully urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and consider whether a defect investigation or broader inquiry into ESC behav","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"HORNET PHEV","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
