Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME AND THE WARNING TO BRAKE ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED BEEPING AND RED BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THIS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE SENSED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED BUT THE WARNING CAUSED ME TO JUMP. IF I WAS IN A CONGESTED AREA OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OR SWERVE INTO SOMEONE/SOMETHING. *TR
