Fortunately my (work provided) Dodge Ram allows me to turn steering assist on or off and have it stay that way until I change it.
I actually like it when rarely doing hours of highway driving, but for my normal use it’s absolutely unsuitable on the narrow and degraded backroads where I’m often squeezing by farm equipment. Definitely don’t like it trying to second guess me having to go over the line.
- genewitch 3y agoI can consistently and repeatedly make the Crosstrek attempt to murder me. Drive to the left of a semi truck, and begin to hug the left line on the road. The car will fight you to recenter in the lane. If you loosen your grip on the wheel at all, the car will immediately and violently swerve to the right, and without correction will wind up in the lane to the right. I can always catch it at exactly the right line of the lane i am in, but i imagine if you weren't expecting it you'd wind up underneath a semi. I absolutely loathe driving the crosstrek. edited to clarify: I can shut off steering assist, but sometimes i drive with it on because my wife does (normally) and i like to make sure it's still "safe" - so each time i get in and the steering assist is "slightly different" than the last time, i notice. She only sees the gentle curve, like maybe the cameras are dirty, or this road's lines aren't sufficient for steering assist, etc. Whereas i notice immediately that it's acting different.
