Consumer Description

I'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP AND THE PRESENCE GOING OFF WITHOUT A REASON. WHEN BACKING UP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE SENSORS WILL BEEP AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO GRINDING STOP. WHEN I CHECK THE AREA, THERE ARE NO VEHICLES, PERSON, OR OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE PRE SENSE WENT OFF WHEN NO VEHICLES WERE AROUND AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN AT A RAPID RATE. TWICE WHEN DRIVING, THE PRE SENSE WILL ACTIVATE AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THERE ARE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT, BEHIND, OR BESIDE ME.
