NHTSA complaint 11605454 - Filed Oct 12, 2022Failure Sep 15, 2022Discovery Bay, CAAutomatic emergency braking, Service brakes, Vehicle speed control
I have owned the Bay Star for a month, since 9/15/2022. In that time, the “Service Advance Track” warning has come on 4 times. When this happens, the traction control, cruise control, and hill assist features do not work. They advertised these as safety features and now they are gone. Also, the info display is filled with the message above and I can’t see my trip info. It’s very frustrating at best and unsafe at the worse.
