Consumer Description

STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A RED LIGHT, UPON GREEN LIGHT, ACCELERATOR TAPPED TO ENTER INTERSECTION AND FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED BRAKES. NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE AT TIME OF FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING SYSTEM APPLICATION. TAPPED ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND VEHICLE HESITATED BUT SLOWLY ACCELERATED TO NORMAL SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE BEHIND AT THE TIME BARELY STOPPED WHICH WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE AND CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION. CONTINUED ON TO WORK, CAREFULLY APPLYING ACCELERATOR AFTER EACH STOP. VERY SCARY FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND AND NOT IMMEDIATELY ALLOWING DRIVER TO CONTROL ACCELERATION.
