Consumer Description

Travelling at highway speed with cruise control on, the brakes came on hard as if there was an upcoming collision, slowing the car by 25-30 mph. But there was no car or obstacle ahead of mine. I was able to immediately accelerate back to speed without further incident. And fortunately, the cars behind me were able to slow down without hitting me. This is the third (3rd) time this has happened. The previous was less than two weeks ago on city streets without cruise control and I don't remember the first which happened shortly after getting the car in March 2022. I noticed that others have had a similar experience, which led me to submit this report.
