Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, NO OBJECT OR ANYTHING IN THE FRONT, THE CAR EMITS A BEEP, RED FLASHING COLLISION SIGNAL, AND SLAMS ON THE BRAKE. THE DAY IS CLEAR, SUNNY, AND DAYTIME. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. TWO TIMES, IT ALMOST FELT LIKE WE HIT A WALL. IT CAUSED WHIPLASH AND MY NECK WAS STIFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP.
