Consumer Description

VERY OCCASIONALLY THE CAR COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS KICKS IN ERRATICALLY. THE CAR BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY TO REDUCE SPEED SUBSTANTIALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT HIT FROM THE BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS THE HIGHWAY. I THINK IT MIGHT BE DUE TO THE COLLISON SENSOR MISSCLASSIFYING SIGNBOARDS OR OVERHEAD BRIDGES AS HUMANS OR CARS
