Consumer Description
I was driving Westbound on a 2-lane tree-lined county road at around 9:00 AM with the sun behind me. Without any other vehicles, pedestrians or objects, the car came to a sudden hard-brake stop with the seatbelt clenching around me. I was alarmed by this "phantom braking" experience. I have an appointment with my local Volvo dealer, though I don't expect a resolution. Instead, I will request this so-called safety feature be disabled. I am extremely concerned if this would have happened on a busier street or highway.
