Driver-assist systems cause headaches for new-car owners
As adaptive cruise-control and other driver-assistance features become more common — and complex — problems with those systems are replacing infotainment centers as a source of headaches for new-car owners. For the first time in five years, overall quality rankings did not rise in J.D. Power’s 2019 U.S. Initial Quality Study. New-vehicle owners reported 93 problems per 100 vehicles during the first 90 days of ownership of 2019 vehicles across all brands, unchanged from last year.
