Consumer Description

On multiple occasions while utilizing the Autopilot system it will suddenly break with no objects in front of the car. On each occasion it was on the highway with no cars in front of the vehicle.

No messages or alerts appeared on the driver display. No automatic emergency break warning was actuated.
