Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM THAT HAS MADE THIS CAR HANDLE ERRATICALLY AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED IF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU HAPPENS TO BRAKE OR SWERVE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS CAR WILL BRAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT NOTICE MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID A COLLISION OR CHANGE LANES TO MANEUVER AROUND ON OBSTACLE OR CAR. MYSELF AND MY WIFE ARE VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC YOU CANNOT SAFELY CHANGE LANES. WE FEEL IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM WHICH CANNOT BE DISABLED WILL RESULT IN COLLISIONS OR DEATH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN APRIL 2014. WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
