| Description of the problem | I have had my vehicle since march of 2019. On approximately 5 separate occasions since then, the automatic emergency braking system has hard braked at inappropriate times. On at least two occasions, it seemed to be reacting to a seam in the highway, running perpendicular to the road (this was in no way a driving hazard, just a line in the pavement). I would have been traveling around 65mph on the highway on these occasions. On at least two other occasions, i have been 2-3 car lengths behind the next car in front of me, traveling at a similar rate of speed to them, and they slowed to turn. Here again, my vehicle inappropriately hard braked as though i was about to hit them, when there was in fact no danger of that (and at least one of these times i was already lightly and appropriately applying the brake myself). In each of these instances i was traveling around 35mph in the city. Thankfully these incidents have not led to an accident for me to date, but they are very jarring and could easily have led to someone slamming into the back of my vehicle at a high rate of speed due to the sudden and inappropriate braking. I am glad my car offers this feature, but am strongly considering disabling it due to safety concerns around the malfunctioning. |
