Consumer Description

This has happened multiple times: driving along, no cars in front of me or along the side. FCW suddenly appears along with emergency braking kicking in. I can be doing 35 mph or 60 mph, doesn't matter what speed. Scares the heck out of me, and creates a safety issue as vehicles behind run the risk of rear-ending me. The only way to clear the FCW is to come to a complete stop and shift between P and go. For some reason, it also sets off one of my blind spot warnings, lighting up in the sideview mirror on either driver or passenger side. I've mentioned this to dealer, they say there are no codes in the computer, and they don't seem to have a way to diagnose what the problem is (software? bad sensor or camera? ...) other than keeping the car for days and trying to recreate the problem. NOTE: date below is last time it happened...its happened at least 15 times in the past 6 months.
