Consumer Description

Emergency braking and alerting engaged. There were no vehicles or objects in front of my vehicle at the time. The braking was hard enough to engage the ABS and bring the car from 40mph to 5-10 mph, risking a rear end collision if someone was behind me. I have owned the car just over 1 year, this is the first time this has happened. No warnings or other errors appeared before the incident and no errors are present after the incident. Neither the dealer or anyone else has inspected the vehicle. Conditions: Dry, Night (9:50pm) no cruise control or lane keeping functions enabled, no cars or objects were seen in front of the vehicle.
