Consumer Description

Driving through my subdivision, no other cars in sight, no animals, no people, nothing in front of me and the automatic emergency braking mechanism engaged and brought my car to a sudden stop.The brakes engaged on their own, tires squeeled and my body jolted, almost hitting my head on steering wheel. Automatic brake sensors have activated before for no reason as no objects were in sight, but never has the vehicle actually stopped on its own. Luckily I was in my subdivision with no one behind me otherwise someone could have rear ended me and an accident would have occurred with injuries
