| Description of the problem | I was driving down a road going 35 mph and suddenly the automatic braking system engaged causing the vehicle to slam on its brakes almost completely stopping. There was no advance warning that this was going to occur (e. G. Sound or dashboard alert). Further there were no cars in front of me, no pedestrians, or anything else that could have caused the front collision automatic braking to engage. Thankfully there was no vehicle immediately behind me or they would have surely crashed into me. |
