Consumer Description

WHILE BOTH IN CITY DRIVING AS WELL AS IN THE RULES THE CAR BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY WITH NO ONE OR NOTHING IN SIGHT. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR THERE WAS NO ONE OR NOTHING ON THE ROAD THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PEDESTRIAN INDICATOR TO CAUSE THE CAR TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND BOTH OCCASIONS THE ROADS WERE CLEAR AND ON UNOBSTRUCTED. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I AND MY HUSBAND WE'RE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD BECAUSE SETS SPONTANEOUS BREAKING CAN CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION.
