Consumer Description

I experience frequent "phantom" braking while driving north or south on highway I-75. Many times this happens near state route 70 traveling north, but I have had this phenomenon happening driving south or headed north on 275. Cruise control is on, autopilot may or may not be on (I have had it happen in both modes). It's a frightening and very dangerous problem. Speeds decelerate from 75 or so to about 35 or 40. It's sudden and scary and potentially life threatening. I have immediately hit the gas in the multiple times this has happened.
