| Description of the problem | I filed case # 10854550 on 4/9/16 following an active braking system malfunction where my vehicle braked on its own with no vehicles or other obstacles in my path on 3/31/16. I filed case #10948159 following an incident on 1/9/17 where the collision warning system went off and the active breaking feature engaged, despite no risk of collision. Further, the active breaking feature was turned off in my vehicle settings. The dealership service department has reported to me that nothing is wrong with my vehicle, following an inspection. But yet again, on january 31, 2017, my collision warning system went off and the active breaking feature engaged, despite no risk of collision. The feature has remained disabled per my vehicle settings. In this instance i was driving in stop and go traffic with my cousin and my almost 19 month old son in the car. Out of nowhere, the systems listed above engaged. I really do not know what to do. I feel at risk, and worse, i feel i am endangering my child by driving in my car. Short of selling it and passing this risk on to someone else, i am at a loss in terms of what can be done. |
