Consumer Description

I DRIVING UPHILL ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. AS I STARTED TO SLOW TO TURN THE SMART BRAKE SUPPORT FLASHED BRAKE ON MY DASH AND IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED THE CAR. THE ROAD HAD A VERY SLIGHT CURVE WITH A FEW CARS PARKED. THERE WERE NO OTHER MOVING VEHICLES IN THE AREA. IF A CAR HAD BEEN BEHIND ME IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM HAS GIVEN FALSE WARNINGS A LOT BUT THIS WAS THIS FIRST TIME THAT IT STOPPED THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS LATER AND THEY TESTED THE CAR AND SAID IT IS WORKING NORMALLY.
