Consumer Description

THIS INVOLVES THE EXPENSIVE SAFETY ACCESSORY: "FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE "ON THIS VEHICLE, THIS SAFETY FEATURE IS INTERMITTENT. AS I'M DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR FREEWAY, THE UNIT SUDDENLY TURNS OFF AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNS OFF. IN ORDER TO RE-ENGAGE THE SYSTEMS, THE ENGINE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. THE PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. ( OCT.-2015) I COUNT ON THIS SAFETY FEATURE. (FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE) AS AN EXAMPLE, THE CAR IN FRONT HAS NO BRAKE LIGHTS, I HAVE NO IDEA THAT IT IS SLOWING AND COMES TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THIS COULD RESULT IN A COLLISION, WHEREAS THE AVOIDANCE FEATURE GIVES PLENTY OF WARNING IN REGARDS TO THE SUDDEN SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I WONDER HOW MANY OF THESE UNITS MAY HAVE ORIGINAL FACTORY DEFECTS, YET HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED? THANK YOU. *TR
