Consumer Description

Braking system applied brakes while on the interstate going 75+ MPH no reason to brake, happens quickly on most instances, I hurry to hit the accelorator to speed back up to speed as to not cause any incidents. First several times it is very uncomfortable to experience, causing concern to be easily hit from the rear in areas with more traffic. The issue is not reproduced as it seems to happen when the car "thinks" it has a reason to brake,different enviromental changes such as cars, in the other lane, or shadows seem to have an affect as well. NO inspections have been completed at this time. No warnings seem to be triggered when this takes place, just rapid unexpected deacceleration.
