Consumer Description
We rented this vehicle for 2 days, in which we experienced phantom braking thrice. It was seemingly the forward collision detection. The first time was after a car had fully crossed the highway at a reasonable distance ahead of us. The second time was when it detected cyclists along the shoulder, with no danger of collision. The third time was as we approached a sharp turn in the highway, where a semi-truck was parked/stationary on the shoulder mid-turn. In each of these instances there was no need to slow the vehicle, but the car suddenly braked almost to a complete stop. Cars around and behind us were surprised and we were forced to swerve. It is unclear if the brake lights engage during these sudden phantom braking incidents.
