I am a professional driver who operates vehicles for approximately 14 hours a day. My livelihood and my life depend on predictable vehicle handling. The current federal mandates surrounding un-deletable active driver assists are not protecting drivers; they are actively creating high-risk highway hazards. The Safety Defect: When encountering standard municipal road imperfections—such as sunken manhole covers, jagged asphalt seams, or road inclinations—the vehicle’s inertial (G-sensor) and lane-keeping software drastically overreacts. 1. Unprovoked Steering Redirection: The software interprets mechanical displacement from a pothole or road seam as an accidental lane drift. The vehicle then forcefully and violently applies steering torque to \"correct\" the lane position, throwing the vehicle toward adjacent traffic lanes. 2. Aggressive Stability Control Intervention: Upon hitting a road depression, wheel speed and G-sensors register a momentary traction anomaly. The computer panics and micro-brakes individual wheels, causing a violent, unpredictable swaying motion across both the front and rear axles. The Real-World Consequence: To stay in my lane and avoid colliding with neighboring vehicles or semi-trucks, I am forced to engage in a physical tug-of-war with the vehicle's electronic power steering. The automated systems actively override conscious human defensive driving maneuvers. Had I not possessed advanced driving knowledge and rapid reflexes, this technology would have forced me directly under a commercial truck. By preventing drivers from permanently disabling these intrusive features, federal rules have created a driving environment filled with extreme psychological stress, physical fatigue…","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
