Consumer Description

The automatic emergency braking system activated for no reason while driving northbound at night in the right lane on MA Route 24 as I approached the intersection with MA Route 79. At the time of the incident, there were no vehicles in front of me, nor were there any vehicles entering from Route 79. The adaptive cruise control system was engaged at the time of the incident. This has happened on several occasions at that same intersection under the same conditions. It has also happened when I've been driving in the left lane on the highway and passing a tractor-trailer in the right lane. The sudden, unexpected deceleration put us in danger of being rear-ended by traffice behind us, creating the possibility of a multi-vehicle, high speed collision. The problem hasn't been reproduced or confirmed by the mfr, police or others. The vehicle has not been inspected by the mfr, police, or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
