There is a software update for the ACC/FCM on this model. Have you had yours done? If you have been to dealer for service, then they would/should have done it automatically.
Hi Wassa, my Esteem is experiencing emergency braking (with and without cruise control) which is due to oncoming traffic. Braking has been harsh enough to put my car into a skid. How did you go getting this issue attended to? Was it resolved?Hi, we have a 12/18 EC that will not hold cruise control spend on undulating roads.If set to say 110 it will slow going down a gentle hill to say 94, stay there on the up hill for a few seconds then race to 118 well over the set speed setting.This is when the radar cruise is not picking up vehicles close by. The other problem is the emergency braking ,when set on cruise control it will activate the brakes by its self when you are merging from two lanes to one lane.It seams to pick up the vehicles coming from the opposite direction and jams on the brakes.Both these problems have been raised at the selling dealer who says that they are not a problem.No so good with a truck on your tale, location is Victoria Australia
I have a MY21 Eclipse Cross, I have experienced the same braking under cruise control many times. The car is under 2 months old. I too have been break checking vehicles on merging at 110km/hr including a b-double doing 110km/hr when my car slowed to 40km/hr, with no oncoming cars or cars in front of me. Other issues include stopping in the right lane for a car turning left in the third lane from me. I am terrified. My service people are guessing it is a camera calibration or radar calibration issue, unheard of ever before. I have also slowed down for a big dark tree off the side of the road and tree shadows. I am not confident they will solve it, having seen it is NOT new.Hi, we have a 12/18 EC that will not hold cruise control spend on undulating roads.If set to say 110 it will slow going down a gentle hill to say 94, stay there on the up hill for a few seconds then race to 118 well over the set speed setting.This is when the radar cruise is not picking up vehicles close by.

No new updates at this stage,service department cant help they say.Couple of days ago we we nearly rear ended again while on cruise as it detected old lines from years ago.Camera has been replaced in windscreen but just the same.Cruise is useless as in wont hold a speed on any undulating road in it will under speed by 10 k the over speed by 10.Hi Wassa, my Esteem is experiencing emergency braking (with and without cruise control) which is due to oncoming traffic.

Hi Waze, I believe mine isn’t seeing lanes to make these bad decisions, not seeing cars coming towards me either. Just making bad decisions like stopping when cars in right lane (straight road) slow to turn right at intersection, and other problems.No new updates at this stage,service department cant help they say.Couple of days ago we we nearly rear ended again while on cruise as it detected old lines from years ago.Camera has been replaced in windscreen but just the same.Cruise is useless as in wont hold a speed on any undulating road in it will under speed by 10 k the over speed by 10.
Wazza, I forgot to mention, with bright sun on my windscreen I can see some zones of the windscreen has crazing in the glass. It is quite extensive and may cause multiple images of it is in front of the camera.No new updates at this stage,service department cant help they say.Couple of days ago we we nearly rear ended again while on cruise as it detected old lines from years ago.Camera has been replaced in windscreen but just the same.Cruise is useless as in wont hold a speed on any undulating road in it will under speed by 10 k the over speed by 10.
I initially had issues with my EC Exceed with my e-tag. So much so, I used to keep the tag in the console and hold it near the window when needed but recently I had it replaced with an upon-to-date version and I no longer have issues with errant reports. The new tag is larger and may have better shielding but I used it yesterday on motorways in Sydney attached to the window near the sensor/cameras. The beep on the new tag is louder and more easily heard as well...I took my dash cam off because they said it and e-tag may cause issues, still happens.
Good luck with your issues.If you have some positive results let me know so i can pass it on to the service manager, cheersHi Waze, I believe mine isn’t seeing lanes to make these bad decisions, not seeing cars coming towards me either.

Tomorrow car is in for service. Camera and radar to be calibrated. I took my dash cam off because they said it and e-tag may cause issues, still happens.
Wish me luck!

I am experiencing cruise control behaviour very similar to Wassa and others. (I realize it may be a little late to revive this 'old' thread.)Hi, we have a 12/18 EC that will not hold cruise control spend on undulating roads.If set to say 110 it will slow going down a gentle hill to say 94, stay there on the up hill for a few seconds then race to 118 well over the set speed setting.This is when the radar cruise is not picking up vehicles close by.

I have a 10/22 EC Exceed. Apart from one issue, adaptive cruise works really good, holds it speed up and down hills and mountains. But I have the same issue when merging from two lanes to one. It's a bit scary to feel the car suddenly slow down, especially for the cars behind me. The dealer said he'd never heard of this before. I have learned to cancel my ACC as I merge and reset it once I am back to one lane (as opposed to re-engaging it to it's previous pre-set speed. I am flat out ATM with stuff, but will be talking to the dealer after Anzac weekend. Talking with friends who hired a car in Sydney (a Mazda) they said the encountered the same issue.
