Consumer Description

I have had TWO incidents where the automatic emergency brake has engaged. The first was in a parking lot at low speed with no cars or objects near the car. The car completely seized up and I had to get a tow truck to take it to the dealer. The second incident I had to slow to zero for a dog in the road and then after it moved and I accelerated the brake engaged and I had to pull out of the road way so I would not get hit from behind. After the car sat parked for 8 hours I was able to drive it to dealer with an engine light on. At dealer the light went off so they were not able to diagnose anything .
