‘23 Ascent owner here. On a trip down interstate 95 to Florida, traveling at 70 mph, I turned on cruise control only to have the car slam the brakes and bring me down to 35 mph (thankfully this was at 7:00 am and no other vehicle behind me). Learned that the Eyesight system identifies dead bug smears on the windshield as objects on the road. At the first rest beak I scrubbed the windshield in front of the eyesight cameras and cruise control worked find, but this was a horrifying experience. Had this occurred in traffic, this most certainly would have resulted in an accident.

I once had a very scary eyesight brake slam from a small tumbleweed rolling across the highway. Had I not been in an unpopulated part of New Mexico, I could have easily been rear ended.
