Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway about 50 mph. The car in front of me stopped quickly, and i had to press on the brake pretty hard to slow down quickly. But as soon as i did that, some crazy emergency/automatic brake system kicked into overdrive and slammed on the brakes like 10 times harder than i did, and caused my car to practically stop in the middle of the highway. I thought i was going to get hit by a car, but luckily i didn't. This was very dangerous and scary, and clearly a defect in some braking or computer system. I have also had a similar thing happen when i am driving slower (like 30 mph), but the effect is not as dangerous or intense. I took the car into the dealer and they updated some computer upgrades that were not related to this issue, but they could not recreate the problem. I have heard from other leaf owners with the exact same problems, and yet nissan does not seem to recognize this as a problem. This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed before people get hurt.
