Description of the problem	The subaru eyesight system is dangerous. I've had two instances where the vehicle activated the forward-collision warning and started to break for reasons unknown to me. Once was in the middle of an intersection. Fortunately, the cars behind me were not too close to rear end me. This happened around 2 p. M. In the middle of summer with the sun behind the vehicle. I brought the vehicle in for recall work to the local subaru dealership several months later and asked them to pull any relevant data for the two incidents. By then, the system cleared those two events. The dealer said i should purchase a video camera and run it in the car while driving to capture any false alarms in order to help them troubleshoot it as according to them the system does not capture any video/image data when it records an event. This is absolutely outrageous. Subaru has cameras in the eyesight system and flash memory to store data in - storing an image snapshot is not overly storage intensive, and yet i am supposed to invest several hundred dollars in an independent video camera to help subaru debug their system. The dealership suggested not using eyesight on sunny days where the camera could be blinded by the sun. Hello - i live in nevada, it's sunny here over 300 days per year. This would make the eyesight system practically useless and i'll lose cruise control. How am i supposed to know when it's too sunny for the system that it will malfunction?
