NHTSA Complaint #10667619 — 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING DEVICE THAT IS INTENDED TO WARN THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT THAT YOU ARE TO CLOSE TO AND CLOSING RANGE WITHOUT BRAKING. ON ABOUT 1/2 DOZEN OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE'S EARLY DETECTION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT ANY VEHICLES IN FRONT. THESE OCCURRENCES SEEM TO BE ON DAYS WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THEIR ARE REFLECTIONS OFF THE ROAD, OR VERY SUNNY DAYS (AGAIN CAUSING REFLECTIONS). THE FLASHING LIGHT, LOUD ALARM, AND INTERRUPTION WITH REGULAR AUDIO IS VERY JARRING (SCARY). ON ONE OCCASION I APPLIED MY BRAKES VERY HARD BECAUSE OF THE ALARM (BUT THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT) - THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND TO HIT ME. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT A FALSE/POSITIVE ALARM. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WITHOUT RESULTS. *TR
