| Description of the problem | Car has stopped abruptly in traffic on two occasion in what should have been innocuous circumstances. First was traveling in a straight line on a slight decline and no hazards, slow moving moderate traffic (about 25 - 30 mph), where the car was coasting (drive neither accelerating or braking) in perfect weather. Second was making a turn at a green left turn signal, probably at speed of 15 mph; again perfect weather. Dealer response was to indicate the system was sensitive and offered to deactivate it. Second response was to "recalibrate" it for $400. This vehicle has less than 12,000 very light miles on it. |
