Consumer Description

On a recent 2000 mile trip, we experienced several (10-20) incidents of unnecessary, very strong braking. There were no apparent reasons for the very strong braking episodes. In some instances, there were no cars in front of us and no cars behind us for many miles (I-40, New Mexico). Braking was so severe that it likely would have caused a collision if cars had been closely following us. We have traveled this route several times in past years with no similar emergency braking incidents.
