Consumer Description

At about 9:15 a.m. today I was lightly braking as I approached an intersection where I needed to turn right. There were no vehicles in front of me. The weather was clear and dry, about 70 degrees. As I slowed, the AEB system flashed BRAKE several times, and then the car came to a sudden and complete stop. The same thing happened to this car at the same spot several months ago under the same circumstances — no other traffic ahead and good weather. There is a metal plate on the road ahead of where these incidents took place. The plate has been there for years and we drive over it all the time with no problem. But when no cars are ahead, could the AEB system be mistaking the plate for an obstacle?
