Consumer Description
My husband was driving (I was the passenger). We were driving down the road normally, straight ahead,, not too close to anyone else, when suddenly the brake (or emergency brake, which is what it sounded like to me) engaged out of nowhere, throwing us forward. (My husband's foot was on the accelerator pedal, not the brake pedal.) Unlike the last two times this happened, this time the car did "beep" as if there was a potential collision, except there truly was not. We weren't going fast and had good distance from the car in front of us. Just a normal drive. Like the previous two incidents, the system corrected itself within a second or two and let us continue, but it's terrifying because the car had a mind of its own. Again, fortunately, no one rear-ended us, but it definitely could have happened if the car behind us was closer.
