Consumer Description

I have driven this vehicle approximately 28,000 miles. I am the original (and only) owner. When using the cruise control the car will break suddenly and aggressively for no apparent reason on the open road. This has happened more than a dozen times. I cannot say what percentage of my driving is done with adaptive cruise control functioning but I would suspect well less than 30% of the 28K miles. On several occasions I surmise it my be related to oncoming vehicles in their normal lane. Fortunately, these episodes have not resulted in any collisions to date.
