NHTSA Complaint #10733749 — 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT, NO OBSTACLES, ON A CLEAR DAY, THE FRONT COLLISION ALERT TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES WERE STRONGLY APPLIED. IT WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND FRIGHTENING FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY, AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES AT ANY GIVEN SPEED AND SAME CONDITIONS AS ABOVE. I HAVE SINCE TURNED OFF THE FEATURE (FORTUNATELY AN OPTION). IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME ANY OF THESE TIMES, THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A REAR END COLLISION. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE NO CODES, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, SO "THERE'S NO ISSUE" ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 3768 MILES, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT MAY HAVE OCCURRED BEFORE THEN AND I AM AT 4984. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE ALL OCCURRED IN A 1 MONTH SPAN.
