Consumer Description

Intermittently, when using my adaptive cruise control at freeway speeds, the breaks are suddenly applied hard when there is no car in front of me. It has happened several times. So far, it hasn't caused any loss of control, but it does cause cars behind me to slam on their brakes. It generally would slow the car 30-40 mph suddenly, without warning. The date and mileage I am showing below is the last time it happened. It has been happening since the vehicle was new in 2016, but without being able to recreate the problem for the dealer, I didn't notify them. But the situation is getting worse and seems to be happening more often. Also, in separate incidents, the crash warning lights flash on when there is no danger of crashing.
