Consumer Description

While under light braking in the center lane of the highway at roughly 40MPH and 3-4 car lengths behind the vehicle in front the Automatic Emergency Braking system activated and brought the car to a complete stop. The vehicle behind was several car lengths away and had to slam on their brakes to avoid a collision. The incident caused pain to my right shoulder from the seatbelt tensioning and braking. After coming to a complete stop, the vehicle allowed me to proceed. There were vehicles in neighboring lanes, but at not point was there a situation that would warrant emergency intervention.
