Consumer Description

For the second time this week , the emergency brakes have engaged while my vehicle was in motion . Both times in the middle of a busy intersection . The car gives me about 5 seconds to try to get to somewhere safe before it totally cuts off. Luckily both times i was able to put hazards on , get a clear path to the side of the road and fidget with it until it started up again . Terrifying to think that i could lose my life or cause someone else to get seriously injured because my vehicle just STOPS in the middle of driving . With NO WARNING , and literally only seconds to react.
