Consumer Description
My car was running in auto-steering mode. Last year it did phanthom breaking 3 times in freeway ( Arizona I-10 from casa Grande to tempe direction). Same happened on 2/14/22, it did phantom breaking for no reason. Speed dropped from 80MPH to 55mph. Luckily no one was ahead or behind me. This is high risk for drivers behind me.
