NHTSA Complaint #11344264 — 2018 NEWMAR NEW AIRE

FOR THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED, CLEAR SKIES, NO RAIN, THE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM CAME ON FOR A SECOND OR TWO, WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO THROW US FORWARD INTO OUR SEATBELTS, SEEMED TO LOCK TIRES, AND DISENGAGED CRUISE. IF THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD BEEN CLOSER IT WAS ENOUGH OF A BRAKE THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED CARS TO SWERVE OR ALSO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID ME. AFTER REALIZING WHAT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO GET A PICTURE OF THE COLLISION DETECTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE AT 65 MPH. I DISABLED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I WITNESSED THE COLLISION LIGHT ILLUMINATE 2-3 TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW MINUTES, WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF US. NO BUGS OR ANYTHING ELSE BLOCKING THE RADAR SENSOR ON THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR HOME. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS ON I77 SOUTH OF CANTON, OH. PREVIOUS INCIDENTS WERE ON I-71 E NEAR DAYTON, OH AND I71W NEAR COLUMBUS, OH. THE ATTACHED IMAGE SHOWS THE COLLISION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH WITHOUT OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.
