Consumer Description
I experienced more than 10 incidents of “phantom braking” while on Interstate highways (I90 and I29) on a round trip from Solon Iowa to western South Dakota. ( late Sep 2022). There were no apparent obstructions, nearby vehicles, or other dangers. In several incidents I was traveling at the speed limit (80 mph) and the car braked so suddenly and hard it jolted wife and terrified her. If a car or truck was behind me I would have almost certainly had a serious accident. This behavior seems to have gotten much worse in the past few months, although I have seen it occasionally over the 3 years (48000 miles) I have owned the car. I have noticed it happens most often near the crest of hills.
